Magnolia's Apartment Project to Include Farmworker Housing

Magnolia's Apartment Project to Include Farmworker Housing

By Brittney Sherman

The Magnolias Community is Morgan Hill's second rental project to include units specifically dedicated for farmworker housing. This multi-family rental community will feature 66-units and will be located at 17965 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill. With the City of Morgan Hill's existing apartment vacancy rate at 1%, the Magnolias provides affordable housing options to households earning 30% to 60% of the area median income (AMI), which for a family of four is $168,500. This project provides much needed affordable housing for agricultural workers and unhoused families.

Anaerobe Systems Expands in Morgan Hill

Anaerobe Systems Expands in Morgan Hill

By Brittney Sherman

Meet Morgan Hill Business - Anaerobe Systems!

Mike Cox founded Anaerobe Systems in 1978. The company produces the world’s only true pre-reduced anaerobically sterilized (PRAS) culture media; sterilized, poured, and packaged under strict anaerobic conditions (never exposed to oxygen). The process and machinery have been custom designed by Mike and Steve, and follow a meticulous oxygen-free process resulting in the culture media having a 3-month to 3-year shelf life without requiring refrigeration. Mike also invented and patented the first gloveless anaerobic chamber over 40 years ago and is the recipient of the Anaerobe Society of Americans Lifetime Achievement Award.

Mike has been repurposing organic byproduct from growers in the Salinas, Watsonville and Gilroy areas for years now. He developed a patented method to fully recycle tomato, cabbage and water hyacinth byproduct into a solution that is reintroduced back into the soil growing the next series of plants two times as fast and as large. The fertilizer not only has the ability to be a game changer for farmers to comply with AG Order 4.0 regulations, but could also play a significant role in organic recycling and greenhouse gas reduction worldwide.

Anaerobe Systems is underway with expansion plans here in Morgan Hill. Visit the company’s website HERE to learn more!
