The Power of Hydroponics
Grow More Food, Use Less Resources
Each Vertical Roots farm container is only 320 square-feet and grows 3,600 plants approximately 15x a year, using zero soil and 95% less water.
Consistent and Reliable, All Year
Our vertical container farms – engineered by AmplifiedAg – are resilient and allow us to grow year-round anywhere in the U.S., regardless of climate, weather, or resources.
Perfect Environment = Quality + Nutrition
AmplifiedAg’s CEA technologies creates optimal growing environments. Our produce receives the exact light, water, and nutrients it needs to grow, resulting in superior quality, flavor and nutrition.
Delivering Fresh Lettuce Fast
Did you know the average head of lettuce travels up to 2,000 miles and up to 3 weeks before it gets to the end consumer?
Vertical Roots farms are located directly at regional food distribution points. This drastically decreases food transportation miles which lowers emissions and increases the nutritional value and shelf life of our produce!
Our farms are located in:
Charleston, SC | Columbia, SC | Atlanta, GA
