Turnkey vertical farms for restaurants and grocers.
GreenCore Urban Farms provides end-to-end vertical farming solutions for food service businesses. We assess client spaces, design modular hydroponic or aeroponic systems, install climate-controlled growing racks with LED lighting and automated irrigation, and offer ongoing maintenance contracts. Our service includes seed-to-harvest management, ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality greens, herbs, and microgreens. By eliminating shipping and reducing spoilage, clients gain control over their produce chain while enhancing their sustainability credentials. With a $25,000+ investment, we acquire inventory of growing systems, a service vehicle, and hire a certified horticulturist. We operate locally, providing rapid installation and responsive support, making hyper-local growing accessible and hassle-free for busy chefs and grocery managers.
Post-pandemic, local supply chains are prioritized, and consumers increasingly demand transparency and sustainability. Urban vertical farming tech has matured, making it cost-competitive with traditional sourcing.
