$100 Million LoneStar Life Sciences OZ Fund LLC launches seeking Accredited Investors for Indoor Growing of Hops in Rural Texas Agricultural Opportunity Zones
The Fund is raising a Series A Round.
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — $100 Million LoneStar Life Sciences OZ Fund LLC (the “Fund”) launches seeking Accredited investors for an investment in indoor growing facilities for hops and other crops along with sales of related products from rural agricultural opportunity zones near Lockhart and San Marcos Texas. The Fund will invest substantially all of the net proceeds of the offering in an affiliated operating company, LoneStar AgriTech, LLC (“LoneStar AgriTech”), who is on a mission to build and manage one million square feet of the most advanced indoor controlled environment greenhouse facilities in Texas. The initial focus will be on growing and harvesting high margin fresh hops for sale to breweries and the extraction of Xanthohumol for medicinal/nutraceutical purposes. The indoor facilities will provide highly automated and computer-controlled environments to maximize plant growth and yield while setting a new standard for responsible low-power, carbon-negative companies. Using the hops as the profitability foundation, future expansion into additional crops are expected to include other medicinal plant based cultivars and other vertically grown hydroponic food crops that would benefit from the high-yield potential of the indoor growing facilities.
Using advanced Environmental Management Systems (EMS) to control atmosphere, humidity, temperature, and nutrition, and establishing climate change related sustainability standards such as water conservation (recapture, recycle, reuse) and renewable energy, LoneStar AgriTech is in position to create an incommensurate market advantage in year-round production of hops and eventually other food stock or medicinal-use species.
“We are excited to be working with industry leading international companies like BW-Global and Cultivatd to design and manage one of the most advanced 1,000,000 sq. ft. greenhouse facilities in the world which includes both energy-efficient and water-saving technologies,” said Matt Atwood, principal of the Fund and President of LoneStar Life Sciences, Inc.
