ABOUT THE

COMPANYOur founders, food industry veterans Mike and Tisha, knew that food wasn't what it used to be. They wanted to make it betterby creating a new kind of farm.

A farm 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 Georgia in addition to research and development farms in Arkansas and The Hague, Netherlands.
