80 Acres Farms
Pay Tribute
Biography
80 Acres Farms was a Cincinnati/Hamilton, Ohio-based vertical farming company that operated large automated indoor farms growing leafy greens, microgreens, and herbs for major grocery retailers across North America.
Cause of Death
80 Acres Farms was forced to wind down and cease operations due to a severe capital shortfall after failing to secure further venture funding. Despite raising nearly $400 million, the company suffered from high energy, infrastructure, and capital costs inherent to vertical indoor farming, making profitability unachievable under market pricing for produce.
