The New Frontier in Farming
I t’s not just the Jackson Hole commu-
nity that’s paying attention. “When
people enter our doors,” says Caroline,
“they are in awe of every aspect of
our operation, from the innovative
hydroponic growing systems to our
unique glass building structure and
our integrated employment model.
We are currently talking about replica-
tion with several entities in the US.
Our business mission and social mis-
sion are equal, and we could not have
one without the other.”
Vertical Harvest’s offerings include five kinds
of leafy greens, three leaf mixes, seven variet-
ies of microgreens and two kinds of tomatoes,
including “Bumble Bee” and “Rebel.”

Vertical Harvest’s team agrees. As
one employee, Nikki, explains, “My
job as the Market Assistant Manager
consists of many things! Between
greeting customers and checking
them out at the register, stocking
and quality controlling the produce,
receiving other products that are
not produce, cleaning, and making
schedules, I am a very busy person
at Vertical Harvest/Market, but I
wouldn’t trade it for the world!” n
