Mirabel, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2016) - Urban Barns Foods Inc. (OTC: URBF) ("Urban Barns" or "the Company"), a vertical farming company that produces Kosher-certified leafy vegetables using its proprietary Cubic FarmingTM technology, is pleased to provide this update to its shareholders.

Urban Barns recently participated in the SIAL Canada and SET Canada 2016 congress, held in Montréal, Québec. There were over 900 participants and approximately 16,000 visitors over the three days of this international food and beverage tradeshow. A great deal of interest was expressed for both the Company's products as well as for its growing machines. Urban Barns' business partners, Bevo Agro and Forty Foot Farms, have taken the patent pending Cubic FarmingTM technology — a type of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) — and made it possible for businesses and entrepreneurs to own and operate their very own "forty foot farm" by placing machines in containers. In addition they provide world-class systems, processes and support. Forty Foot Farms also recently attended the Nevada Indoor Agriculture Conference in Las Vegas.
