Vertical Harvest Farms

Vertical Harvest Farms is an urban vertical farming company that grows pesticide-free microgreens, lettuces, and petite greens year-round using innovative indoor agriculture technology. Operating farms in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Westbrook, Maine, the company produces a diverse lineup of fresh, nutrient-dense leafy greens designed to serve local communities, chefs, and health-conscious consumers. Its growing methods require 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminate the need for long-distance transport, ensuring peak flavor and nutritional value at the point of harvest.

The company's product portfolio includes a variety of branded microgreens such as Rad'ish, Bitty Bang, Peazies, Lil Cil, Zest Riot, Fuel Good, Kale Kick, Triple Zip, and Lite Bite, each differentiated by flavor profile, nutrient density, and culinary application. These products are prepped and ready-to-use, targeting both foodservice professionals and retail consumers seeking convenient, whole-food options.

Vertical Harvest Farms operates a distinctive employment-first model called Grow Well, which prioritizes inclusive hiring practices and creates economic opportunities for individuals with varying abilities within the communities where it operates. This model was developed and refined at the original Jackson Hole facility, which now serves as a research and development center in partnership with the University of Wyoming as a Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) center of excellence. Learnings from the Jackson facility directly inform the design and operations of next-generation farms.

The Westbrook, Maine facility, developed in partnership with local municipal leaders, represents a significantly expanded production footprint with an expected annual output of 3 million pounds of leafy greens. This scale is positioned to contribute meaningfully to the New England Food Vision's goal of producing 30% of food locally by 2030.

The company distributes through local food system partnerships, including collaborations with organizations such as Jackson Hole Food Rescue and the Food Bank of Wyoming, reinforcing its commitment to local food access. Vertical Harvest Farms targets a broad customer base that includes retail grocery, foodservice, and institutional buyers, while also engaging directly with consumers through events, sponsorship programs, and community outreach initiatives.
