BE A CHANGEMAKER

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from Vertical Harvest! 🌸

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating every kind of mom — whether you’re a mom yourself, thinking about how much you appreciate your own, or you’re a mother to a movement like our own Nona Yehia and Caroline Croft Estay. At Vertical Harvest, we honor the spirit of motherhood: believing in something so deeply that you pour your heart and soul into helping it grow — whether that’s people, plants, or progress.

And let’s be real — moms everywhere want you to eat your greens! 🥬 We’re hellbent on healthy, and we grow produce that fuels families, feeds futures, and makes moms proud.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to show love this Mother’s Day? Sponsor a Tray in her honor — it’s a small act with big impact, supporting economic inclusivity, climate resilience, and nutrition security.

And because every mom deserves something fresh: stay tuned for our limited-edition tote drop — coming soon. 💚

We had some amazing visitors at the farm! 💚 Heather, Shawn, and Alicia from The Good Crust (@thegoodcrust.maine) stopped by for a deep-dive into inclusive, meaningful employment—a mission close to all our hearts. So much thoughtful conversation, shared vision, and exciting ideas for the future! 🙌

Even better? They came bearing gifts 🩷 (our team is very into local carbs).

Here’s to growing connection—and maybe even some collaboration on the horizon! 🌱💫 #InclusiveEmployment #LocalLove #TheGoodCrust #VerticalHarvest #FutureCollabs #Pizza

🌟 Friendship in Full Bloom! 🌟

This past weekend, members of our Vertical Harvest team joined the Best Buddies Friendship Walk: Maine in Portland! 💜🚶‍♀️🌿 @friendshipwalk @bestbuddiesmaine

We’re proud to stand alongside Best Buddies Maine in championing inclusion, connection, and community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Lots of great community and connection and support for Best Buddies Maine! Even on a gray and rainy day! To everyone who walked, cheered, and supported—thank you for growing a more inclusive world with us. 🌍💚 We also ran into our buddy Beacon the Puffin with the Maine Mariners. @beaconthepuffin @marinersofmaine

🌱 Microgreens in the Wild! 🌱
From Jackson to Maine, our local culinary friends have been loving our microgreens!

At recent events like the Farm to Institution Summit (@farm2inst), our microgreen table had a line of fans… some even asked if they could take extras home! 🥹💚

So what do you do when you’ve got leftover VH microgreens? You share them—and feed your friends and family, of course.

🍣 Chef Ian @ianpaulandcrazypony from SoPo Seafood (@soposeafood) whipped up seared salmon with a miso-ginger glaze, topped with snappy sorrel microgreens, plus Dijon potatoes with a balsamic glaze and miso mayo dipping sauce. YES, PLEASE.

🍕 Lindsay’s spread? A vibrant salad made with our salad blend topped with peazies and a side of potstickers—and a dreamy white pizza with curried chicken, roasted root veggies, and a sprinkle of micro heat microgreens for that perfect kick.

🌱 Our friend Louis Pickens of @blackbettysbistro used VH microgreens to garnish several delicious dishes!

From our farms to your tables—this is the magic of local food and local love. 🌿

📅 April 28 | World Day for Safety and Health at Work

At Vertical Harvest, we believe that how we grow matters just as much as what we grow. On this World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we`re proud to spotlight the care, commitment, and community that power our farms every single day. 🌱

Our farm is more than a workplace—it’s a place of purpose.
As a company grounded in equity and inclusion, we design our systems with the whole person in mind. From adjustable workspaces and customized training to team huddles that center communication and mental well-being, we foster an environment where everyone—of all abilities—can thrive.

Safety and health aren’t just checkboxes—they’re core to our model of sustainable growth.
We view safety as shared responsibility and mutual respect—ensuring that each person working at our farms has the tools, knowledge, and support they need to do their job with confidence and care. Because when we invest in people, we grow stronger communities and more resilient food systems.

Inclusive hiring is just the beginning.
We’re building new systems from the ground up—where health, safety, and equity go hand in hand. Because the future of farming should be as nourishing for people as it is for the planet.

💚 Today and every day, we recognize the importance of protecting and empowering our workforce—especially those too often left out of the labor conversation.
