Committed to Introducing Vertical and Traditional Agricultural Farming Methods
We are inspired by the Vertical Harvest, located in Jackson, Wyoming. The farm is situated within a see-through glass building that shows crops being grown and harvested. Vertical Farming can increase crop yields by 10-20x more per acre, farmed and uses up to 98% less water.
Community-Controlled Farming for Long-Term Health and Resilience
The Grand Teton Club, blessed with our own water source, pump systems and approximately 750,000 gallons of underground potable water storage, is committed to introducing both vertical and traditional agricultural farming methods on the club grounds.
Our goal is to allow our community to control the use of agrichemicals
such as pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, and GMOs.
For animals raised for food, concerns about drugs injected into animals, such as antibiotics, hormones, growth stimulants, tranquilizers and GMOs, can be decided by separate governing committees to provide choice and manage how the community’s food is produced as well as how the animals are raised for protein and dairy are treated and fed over their lifetime.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is a sustainable, eco-friendly, and renewable resource, and it represents a significant long-term opportunity for The Grand Teton Club. To date, we have invested more than $100,000 with geotechnical engineers, geologists, and academic researchers to study the geothermal mineral spring system believed to exist beneath our land. Most recently, a PhD researcher, two university professors, and an experienced geothermal consultant visited the property to collect and analyze water, soil, and rock samples from our site and nearby hot spring facilities.
