Native Green Grow (NG2) Greenhouse

The NG2 Gas Capture Greenhouse project is located on an 80-acre Greenfield site on the Ft. Berthold Indian Reservation (FBIR) in Parshall, ND.  Conceived to achieve food sovereignty for the MHA Nation, the Phase 1 project includes 3.25 acres (141,377 sf) of glass growing chambers, a 21,059 sf. headhouse / warehouse for the irrigation systems and produce coolers, a 6,911 sf. administrative facility with an interactive experience center, a 1,075 sf. on-site produce sales marketplace and a separate 6,780 sf. heat plant energy center that houses the CHP, boiler and CO2 equipment.

The Phase 1 Greenhouse, completed in 2025, produces upwards of 2 million pounds of fresh produce per year; 779,220 lbs. leafy greens, 571,611 lbs. tomatoes, 163,701 lbs. peppers, 239,973 lbs. cucumber, and 15,269 lbs. strawberries. Produce not sold at the on-site retail store can be delivered locally or nationwide to grocery stores, restaurants, and other facilities.

“it’s one of the keys to ensuring that we survive, to ensuring our Nation will go into the future, growing our own crops, generating our own power, maximizing our water sources, and creating products to export so that when times do go rough, we’ve got a system in place that can really survive any difficulties that might lie ahead,” Chairman Mark Fox.

By capturing flared gas from oil wells (currently being burned off into the atmosphere) and converting that waste gas into heat, CO2, and electricity to grow vegetable produce in self-contained, climate-controlled greenhouse, the innovative gas capture model extends the limited North Dakota growing season to a year-round operation, increasing production potential and reduces the harmful effects from flared gas.
