Job description
ABOUT THE COMPANYOur founders, food industry veterans Mike and Tisha, knew that food wasn't what it used to be. They wanted to make it better—by creating a new kind of farm. A farm that can grow up to 300 times more food than an open-field farm on a smaller footprint, without use of herbicides, pesticides, or other chemicals that you don't want in your food. A farm powered with 100% renewable energy, growing with 95% less water and delivering food within 48 hours, for longer freshness for our customers and less food waste.
80 Acres Farms is a vertical farming leader, operating commercial farms in Ohio, Kentucky, and soon Georgia in addition to research and development farms in Arkansas and The Hague, Netherlands. All farms utilize state-of-the-art technology and analytics developed by the company's subsidiary, Infinite Acres.
80 Acres Farms-branded salads, microgreens, herbs, and tomatoes are available at retailers and food service distributors from Michigan to Florida, including Kroger, Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, Dorothy Lane Markets, Sysco, and US Foods. 80 Acres Farms is supported by world-class investors and partners, including General Atlantic, Siemens, Barclays, Ocado, and Signify Philips.
