ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our founders, food industry veterans Mike and Tisha, knew that food wasn’t what it used to be, so they wanted to make it better – by creating a new kind of farm. A farm that grows up to 300 times more food than an ordinary farm on a smaller footprint, without a drop of pesticides. Farms powered with 100% renewable energy, growing with 95% less water and delivering food within 48 hours for longer freshness for our customers and less food waste.
80 Acres Farms is a vertical farming leader, operating commercial farms in Ohio, Kentucky, and soon-to-be Georgia in addition to research and development farms in Arkansas and The Hague, Netherlands. All farms utilize state-of-the-art technology and analytics developed by the Company’s subsidiary, Infinite Acres.
80 Acres Farms branded salads, microgreens, herbs, and tomatoes are available at retailers and food service distributors, including Kroger, Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, Dorothy Lane Markets, Sysco, and US Foods from Michigan to Florida. 80 Acres Farms is supported by world-class investors and partners, including General Atlantic, Siemens, Barclays, Ocado, Priva, and Signify/Philips.
