01
Farming, stacked up.
Vertical farming grows crops indoors in vertically stacked layers instead of across open fields.
What is vertical farming?
02
Every condition, controlled.
Crops are grown using LED lighting, climate controls and soil-free growing methods like hydroponics.
03
Part of a bigger field.
Vertical farming is one type of controlled environment agriculture, or CEA: growing plants in conditions designed around exactly what they need.
04
No bad seasons.
With weather and seasons out of the picture, crops grow consistently all year round.
05
A partner to field farming.
Vertical farming doesn't replace traditional farms. It grows the crops that do best indoors like leafy greens and herbs, so field farms can focus on what they do best.
06
The benefits:
Consistent supply, water efficiency and local production.
07
The trade-offs:
High energy use and high upfront costs.
A farm with a roof on.
Vertical farming is an agricultural method where crops are grown indoors in vertically stacked layers within highly controlled environments.
By combining LED lighting, climate control systems and soil-free growing methods such as hydroponics, vertical farms can produce fresh food year-round regardless of weather conditions.
Built for what's coming.
As climate variability, urbanization and supply chain pressures continue to shape the future of agriculture, vertical farming is emerging as an important complement to traditional farming. At Stacked Farm, we combine plant science, automation and engineering to produce fresh leafy greens and herbs in controlled environments designed for consistency, efficiency and scale.
Grow with us
The future of food will take both new technology and generations of farming know-how. We're building farms that work alongside traditional growers, and we're looking for retail, foodservice and commercial partners to scale with us.
Where can you buy vertically farmed greens?
Vertically farmed greens are now stocked by major retailers and used by foodservice operators. Stacked Farm grows leafy greens and herbs for retail, foodservice and commercial partners in Australia, and has opened the first Culinary Innovation Centre in Las Vegas.
FAQs
No. Vertical farming describes how a farm is laid out: crops grown indoors in stacked layers under controlled conditions. Hydroponics is a growing method, where plants get water and nutrients without soil. Most vertical farms use hydroponics, but hydroponics is also used in greenhouses and single-level indoor farms.
