80 Acres Farms Virtual Tour
Earth Day April 22, 2021 

9:30 AM - 10:30 AM EST

   

Join us as we celebrate Earth Day on our first virtual tour through the new 80 Acres Farms in Hamilton, OH.

Their founders, Mike and Tisha, knew that food wasn't what it used to be. They wanted to make it better-and they did it by creating a new kind of farm. One capable of producing an abundance of crop varieties year-round. Completely indoors. Using 100% renewable energy. Without any pesticides or excessive food miles. Big vision, right? Well, they did it. And they called it 80 Acres Farms.

IOPP Cincinnati Chapter will participate in a unique virtual tour inside the vertical farm at the new 70,000 sq ft facility. Produce grown at the Hamilton site will supply local grocery retailers such as Whole Foods Markets, Dorothy Lane Markets, Jungle Jim's, and Kroger. The Hamilton site is automated from seeding to growing to harvesting to pack-out for highest quality and food safety standards.
