Infarm launches its very first U.S. urban farm in collaboration with Kroger / QFC in Kirkland, Washington on November 25, 2019. The first harvest marks the bringing of high-quality, sustainably- grown herbs and leafy greens directly in their neighborhood. Photo by Marcus Donner Infarms are modular and can stack to fit any given space. You ll find them in supermarkets, restaurants and distribution centers, where the produce is harvested and offered fresh, living and full of flavor, right in your neighborhood. We remotely control all infarms through our cloud-based farming platform, that learns, adjusts and improves itself continuously, so each plant grows better than the one before. Each infarm is a controlled ecosystem with the perfect amount of light, air & nutrients. An optimal set of conditions that enables our plants to express their natural tastiness to the fullest. By recreating different growing environments from around the world, we are growing plants previously too delicate, rare or expensive to survive the long journey to your plate. As we install infarms in neighbourhoods around the world, we re saving thousands of food miles, preserving water and natural resources, and laying the foundation for a new urban food system.
