🎉 The energy was electric!

Arik Griffin, Chief of Farm Systems at Vertical Harvest, reflects on his recent visit to our new Maine farm—where, for the first time, the whole team was together and the systems were up and running. 🌱⚙️💚

After years of design, testing, and teamwork from afar, it was an unforgettable moment to see it all in motion—people, technology, and purpose aligned under one roof.

Let’s grow, Maine! 🚀

🎥 Intentional every step of the way!

Arik Griffin, Chief of Farm Systems at Vertical Harvest, shares how our Maine farm was thoughtfully designed from the ground up. 🧠⚙️

From testing automation and building prototypes to refining growing techniques in Jackson, WY—we took the time to get it right. We studied what was working (and what wasn’t) across the industry, and brought those insights into our plans.
Because growing food for the future means growing smarter. 🌱

🌱 From the ground up, we`re growing something different — and our friend Maile is all in. 💚 @mailebuker

Join Maile in supporting Sponsor a Tray, a new program from Vertical Harvest that invites you to power our farm’s impact — one tray at a time.

Each tray is a tiny engine of good: growing fresh food, creating inclusive jobs, and feeding our Maine neighbors. For $250, you can sponsor one too — and even give it a name (Maile’s is “Maile’s Green Toboggan").

This is what a homegrown food system looks like: sustainable, local, and rooted in community. Let’s keep it growing — together.
