With the help of a 2018 USDA- NIFA Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant, TGS is working to bring a new product to market – a low trellis production and harvesting system for hops. This new system is designed to help small and medium size farms more easily grow and harvest hops in midwestern, eastern and southern regions of the U.S.

TGS won a grant from the USDA’s LFPP in 2017 to study the feasibility of establishing an Individual Quick Freeze (IQF) facility in Ohio. The facility would help local berry growers in Indiana and Ohio create value-added frozen fruit products for the regional food network.
