Company Description
CubicFarm Systems Corp. (OTC Pink: CUBXF), referred to as "CubicFarms", is an agricultural technology company in the farm machinery and equipment manufacturing industry. The company is described in its news releases as a local chain agricultural technology company that develops and deploys proprietary ag‑tech solutions to help feed a changing world. CubicFarms is associated with the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CUB and is based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
According to multiple company announcements, CubicFarms focuses on technology that enables growers and livestock producers to generate high quality, predictable produce and fresh livestock feed. Its solutions are designed to support food production in controlled environments and to localize supply by allowing crops and feed to be grown on-site, indoors, all year round.
Core business focus
CubicFarms states that its business centers on proprietary agricultural technology systems. The company highlights two main areas:
- Produce production: The CubicFarms™ system contains patented technology for growing leafy greens and other crops on-site, indoors, year-round. Company materials emphasize that this system is intended to provide an efficient, localized food supply solution.
- Livestock feed production: Through HydroGreen Nutrition Technology, a subsidiary or division of CubicFarm Systems Corp., the company offers technology to produce fresh livestock feed in controlled environments.
CubicFarms repeatedly describes its approach as providing an efficient, localized food supply solution that benefits people, the planet, and the economy. Its systems are presented as tools for growers and livestock operations seeking predictable output and year‑round production.
HydroGreen and Automated Vertical Pastures™
A significant part of CubicFarms’ business is conducted through its wholly owned US subsidiary HydroGreen Inc. HydroGreen is described as producing Automated Vertical Pastures™, which the company calls a type of smart farming equipment. This equipment uses a unique process to sprout grains such as wheat and barley in a controlled growing environment to produce a high‑performance feed ingredient for livestock 365 days a year.
Company descriptions of HydroGreen’s systems emphasize that they are fully or highly automated and perform all growing functions, including:
- Seeding
- Watering
- Lighting
- Harvesting
- Re‑seeding
HydroGreen’s technology is presented as allowing livestock businesses to feed consistent nutrition every day with minimal labour. The company states that, when balanced correctly in the ration, HydroGreen sprouted grain can modify animal digestion, enhance productivity, and reduce the amount of enteric methane emitted in ruminant livestock. HydroGreen also notes that this can enable environmental benefits to the farm and help meet demand for farm‑based inset and offset carbon credits.
Feed-as-a-Service (FaaS) and commercial deployments
CubicFarms reports that HydroGreen has developed a Feed‑as‑a‑Service (FaaS) model. In one news release, the company describes a Feed Centre in Wakeeney, Kansas, operated through HydroGreen in exclusive partnership with Plainview Beef Company. This facility is described as HydroGreen’s first fully operational FaaS facility, where HydroGreen provides sprouted feed to a beef operation on a commercial scale.
The company also reports equipment sales and deployments of its HydroGreen systems, including:
- Sales of GLS 808 machines to customers such as Agrotopia Ireland and Redmond Heritage Farms in Utah.
- Sales of GLS 808 units to Consultant BRD in Québec, Canada.
- Sales of DGS 66 units to BoomA Food Group in Australia for proof‑of‑concept and research programs.
These deployments are described as serving beef and dairy operations and supporting livestock feed production in regions such as Ireland, the United States, and Canada. Company releases state that HydroGreen’s systems are used as cost‑effective, climate‑smart feed alternatives and that they are gaining traction in markets concerned with sustainable and resource‑efficient agriculture.
Technology and intellectual property
CubicFarms has announced that HydroGreen’s hydroponic growing technology is protected by patents. In one release, the company reports the granting of four new patents covering:
- A rotating seed bed that transports seeds through each stage of growth in a soil‑free environment.
- A moving belt system for controlled seed bed cultivation designed to maximize nutrient uptake and yield.
- A dispensing system that simplifies harvesting in high‑volume, soil‑free farming.
- A controller for hydroponic growers that monitors plant health, automates seeding and harvesting, and reduces manual intervention.
The company describes these technologies as supporting large‑scale, soil‑free plant cultivation with a focus on yield, resource efficiency, and sustainable farming practices.
Industry positioning and sector
CubicFarms operates within the farm machinery and equipment manufacturing industry in the broader manufacturing sector. Its public communications consistently describe it as an agricultural technology company and a local chain agricultural technology company. The company’s systems are positioned as tools for:
- Growers seeking predictable, high‑quality leafy greens and other crops grown indoors.
- Livestock producers seeking fresh, nutrient‑dense feed produced on-site.
In its descriptions, CubicFarms links its technology to goals such as supporting regenerative agriculture, enabling sustainable livestock nutrition, and providing localized food supply options.
Regulatory and trading context
Company news releases state that CubicFarm Systems Corp. is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CUB and that its common shares trade on the OTC Pink market under the symbol CUBXF. The TSX Venture Exchange is repeatedly referenced in disclaimers noting that the exchange and its regulation services provider do not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of the releases.
In one release, CubicFarms reports that the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a failure‑to‑file cease trade order (FFCTO) under Multilateral Instrument 11‑103. This order prohibits trading in or purchasing any securities of the company in Canada, including trades through the TSX Venture Exchange, except under specified conditions for certain beneficial securityholders. The company attributes the FFCTO to delays in filing required annual and interim financial statements and related documents and states that it is working with its auditors to complete the required filings.
Corporate structure and geography
CubicFarms identifies itself as a Canadian company and notes that it wholly owns US operating company HydroGreen Inc., which is based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Company communications state that HydroGreen conducts 100% of its business activities in US dollars, while much of CubicFarms’ and HydroGreen’s debt is denominated in Canadian dollars. The company has highlighted the impact of currency movements on its financial position.
Board and governance developments
Recent news releases discuss changes to the company’s Board of Directors. These include the resignations of board members and the appointment of a new director with extensive agricultural and horticultural experience. The company frames these changes as part of its governance evolution as it pursues opportunities related to HydroGreen’s Feed‑as‑a‑Service model and the global sales of HydroGreen’s patented sprouted grain technology.
Environmental and sustainability themes
Across its communications, CubicFarms emphasizes themes related to sustainability and environmental impact. The company states that:
- HydroGreen’s systems use a controlled environment to grow grains such as wheat and barley as livestock feed.
- HydroGreen’s technology can reduce the use of land, labour, and water compared with traditional approaches, according to descriptions in the news releases.
- HydroGreen’s sprouted grain, when balanced correctly in livestock rations, can reduce enteric methane emissions and provide environmental benefits at the farm level.
The company also links its technology to demand for farm‑based inset and offset carbon credits and to trends in grass‑fed and natural livestock diets, as described in its own releases.
Summary
In summary, CubicFarm Systems Corp. (CUBXF) presents itself as an agricultural technology company in the farm machinery and equipment manufacturing industry. Through its CubicFarms™ system and its HydroGreen subsidiary, it focuses on controlled‑environment systems for leafy greens and other crops and on automated systems for sprouted grain livestock feed.
