Our planet is facing a changing climate and running out of farmable land just when we need it most. To feed a growing population, we need a whole new approach to farming. That’s where Plenty® comes in. We grow fresh, flavorful produce in controlled environments, vertically indoors–so it can be better for the world and for you.
Compared to outdoor farms, our Virginia vertical farm is designed to…
By growing vertically indoors, Plenty® is able to dramatically reduce the land and water required to farm at a commercial scale while also making it possible to grow where we used to think it was impossible, like in the center of a city or the middle of the desert.
Every day, we’re working to make our food supply more secure while decreasing the impact that agriculture makes on the environment.
We want to do a lot with a little, so we built our farms to grow up, using less land to grow more produce. And when it comes to water, our Virginia farm has the potential to save millions of gallons of water per year when compared with conventional agriculture and still feed millions of people.
Plenty farms can be built anywhere so we can imagine a future where everyone can eat more locally.
Unlike in outdoor farming, we have the ability to better monitor, optimize, and control what comes into and out of our indoor farms.
We’re a company of scientists, farmers, business people, creatives, and even a few friendly robots.
What started over a decade ago at the University of Wyoming has spread across the US to Virginia, where we’ll continue a radically new way to grow crops.

This is Plenty’s research and development center, where each of our crops is first tested and perfected. We run thousands of tests to figure out the right levels of hydration, nutrients, and light to grow the very best plants indoors – exploring the outer bounds of what is possible for indoor farming. We take what we learn here and apply it to our full-scale farms.

Our strawberry campus in Virginia is the world’s first farm to grow indoor, vertically farmed berries at scale. The new Plenty Richmond Farm is designed to grow over 4 million pounds of delicious strawberries a year—even through the dead of winter. We can adjust every element of the farm (like light, humidity and temperature) to create the perfect environment for our plants to thrive and grow strawberries with peak-season flavor all year long.
