Dan Atkinson
It all started with a garden.
Growing up in the north, Dan learned a simple lesson from his dad: Everything you grow is meant to be shared. That garden became a lifeline not only for his family but also for others, providing organic, sustainable, and nourishing food.
Years later, it would be that same lesson that would draw him back to his deepest passion: sustainable agriculture.
From building the only remaining peat manufacturing facility in Ontario to installing hydroponic gardens for private institutions, Dan has spent decades working hands-on with how food is grown, shared, and sustained. He’s seen firsthand the promise and limitations of Canada’s modern farming systems, especially in effectively serving people and communities.
Today, Dan operates GR365N, a hydroponic farm near Guelph, Ontario, that grows leafy greens and fresh herbs year-round, while also installing commercial and residential indoor hydroponic systems across Canada.
Every project, experiment, and installation has shaped one belief: food systems work best when we come together.
Sharing Knowledge for Impact
We’re so much more than innovators; we’re advocates for practical food independence.
We believe that true food security and sustainability do not end with the proper system; they begin when knowledge is shared, skills are passed on, and people feel confident and empowered to grow food for themselves and others.
That belief is built into every aeroponic system we create.
30 Years of Hydroponics Expertise
From refining traditional farming to building advanced hydroponic and aeroponic systems for urban and rural communities, we bring decades of experience to every design.
Our systems are shaped from real-world use and built to be sustainable, practical, and capable of fitting naturally into everyday life.
Accessibility for All
With grocery prices continuing to rise, many Canadians are experiencing food insecurity firsthand. Access to healthy, sustainable, and affordable food should not be negotiable.
While the cost of an aeroponic system might feel significant at first, the long-term savings on water, energy, and grocery bills greatly outweigh the initial investment and offer something even more valuable: peace of mind.
Your Friendly Neighbour
Meaningful impact starts with community.
That means sharing our wealth of knowledge with everyone and not through memberships or additional fees for content access. We’re committed to supporting growers in every possible way, from answering questions to troubleshooting.
Because growing food is better when we do it together.
