About Vertical Harvest <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertical Harvest<\/a> energizes local food systems via hydroponic, vertical, controlled environmental agriculture (CEA) to deliver healthier food and futures. We work with communities to develop underutilized space in urban, underserved neighborhoods, grow \u201cup\u201d on a fraction of the land required by traditional agriculture, while using 85% less water to deliver our produce at peak flavor and nutrition, year-round. We prioritize both our social impact and profitability, by leveraging a mix of public\/private partnerships and operating with a customized, inclusive employment model currently focused on individuals with physical and\/or intellectual disabilities. Additionally, we ensure each farm innovates at the intersection of climate, food accessibility and economic inclusivity to leverage food as a medium for change. Our goal is to develop a network of farms that serve locally, support regionally and scale nationally to bring food production closer to home and keep local dollars in-community longer. Caroline Croft Estay Bio An expert in behavioral health and workforce management, Caroline crafted and implemented Vertical Harvest\u2019s innovative \u201cGrow Well\u201d employee model. Her role as a unique \u201cgrower of people\u201d is to develop new approaches and modalities for fun, individualized and meaningful employment based on employee feedback. She is passionate about providing underserved communities and differently-able individuals with the education, support and development to thrive at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":626,"template":"","tags":[30,10,29,28,20,35],"topic":[55],"class_list":["post-625","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-aquaponic-hydroponic","tag-autism-idd","tag-employment","tag-job-readiness","tag-monthly-member-gathering","tag-vertical-harvest-farm","topic-what-is-care-farming"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHydroponic Farming at Vertical Harvest - Care Farming Network<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.carefarmingnetwork.org\/resource\/hydroponic-farming-at-vertical-harvest\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hydroponic Farming at Vertical Harvest - Care Farming Network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Caroline Croft Estay, Co-Founder & Chief Potential Officer of Vertical Harvest, shares her story of how she helped create the first hydroponic vertical greenhouse in North America.
