FarmedHere's indoor vertical farm uses aquaponic growing technology to produce organic food faster than traditional farming methods. The farm reuses 97% of fresh water, does not use herbicides or pesticides, and grows year-round. Its local distribution methods reduce energy use, travel time, and costs, making it one of the most sustainable ways to guarantee access to fresh, healthy produce in city centers. By growing indoors, FarmedHere avoids the bugs, diseases, pesticides, and weather that negatively impact produce. The company was founded in 2011 and is based in Chicago, IL.
