Employment Opportunities

Work Well.

Vertical Harvest is all about energizing local food systems to deliver healthier food and futures. We grow our food as a medium for change in service of climate resiliency, food accessibility and economic inclusivity. With that in mind, we have a unique approach to hiring that’s centered on customized and inclusive employment, designed to help anyone to grow and thrive in a given role.

We focus on unlocking the human potential in anyone to improve themselves through training and practice to reach the limits of their abilities, aptitudes and skills. And we’re especially great at unlocking that potential in people with disabilities who represent one of the world’s largest untapped talent pools. Our commitment is to empower personal, professional and economic growth for anyone willing to work hard and apply their unique talents to our common cause.

Our Values

Our mission at Vertical Harvest is to create the largest network of urban farm ecosystems, each rooted in their local communities and using technology to grow healthier food and futures. Our goal is to develop a network of farms supported by an inclusive employment model that serve locally, support regionally, and scale nationally to bring food production closer to home.

With Thanksgiving just one week away, we celebrated with our own Friendsgiving. Gathering around food is kind of our thing, so you best believe we love this kind of Holiday. Together we shared delicious home cooked foods and so much gratitude for the humans that make up this incredible company.

We had a blast in Maine meeting new and old friends, connecting on our love for foods, economic inclusion and innovation. As National Disability Employment Awareness Month comes to an end, we are reminded that every human has the right to meaningful work. Thank you to everyone who participated in last week’s Open House and NDEAM event. Here is a little recap of the week with special guest Jackson’s Biggest Rockstar!
