vertical harvest farm.
Urban Farm
Vertical Harvest is an urban farming company turning cities into fertile grounds for growth, using tech-enabled agriculture to reinvent the future of food. We are hell-bent on bringing our communities the freshest, healthiest and most flavorful produce – grown hydroponically, all year round. It’s why we root our farms within cities, create customized employment for people with disabilities and are farm to fork around the clock. City by city and block by block, we are sprouting up – working with and within communities to sow the seeds of abundant possibility. Because together, radical ideas become reality. We’re not just harvesting the freshest food possible – we’re making it a fierce force for good and radically delicious, at the same time. This is how we’ll create the future we want from the food we need, together.
