Job Description
About Us
We’re on a mission to change the world by growing better. As a B-Corp certified, energy-saving, sustainably powered vertical farm, we’re transforming the way food is grown—creating delicious, nutritious, and affordable produce that doesn’t cost the earth.
We believe in bold ambitions and simple solutions, tackling one of the world’s biggest challenges: sustainable food production. Our moonshot? By 2050, 1 in 3 people will be eating vertically farmed food, proving we can feed a growing world using less land.

🌱 Standing Tall – We do what we say we’re going to do. We take pride in our work.
🚀 Thinking Big – We embrace bold ambitions while avoiding unnecessary complexity.
🤝 Growing Together – We’re one team, collaborating and challenging each other to unlock our full potential.
🌍 Being Deep Rooted – We do the right thing, even when no one is looking. We care about people, the planet, and our business.
