Overview
In 2013, we started to get excited about the idea of combining new and existing technology to grow food that tasted better, lasted longer, and helped to reduce the environmental impact of getting healthy food onto people's plates. We're unique because we've cracked the biggest challenge in vertical farming -- energy.
