Indoor elevated organic farm thrives in San Antonio
SUMMARY: San Antonio is witnessing a high-tech revolution in indoor farming with the opening of a 140,000 sq ft soil-based vertical farm at Brooks. Led by CEO Matthew Ryan, this facility aims to make organic farming cost-effective while using 90% less water than traditional methods. The farm, which employs about 100 people, cultivates leafy greens like lettuce and spinach, taking just 17 days from seed to shipment. Operating in a controlled environment, this innovative approach allows for year-round production, providing fresh and affordable organic options for customers. Challenges include reliance on electricity and the need for sustainability in energy sources.
Earlier this summer, Soil Organic opened its first indoor elevated organic farm in San Antonio. The technique used has been nearly perfected to be duplicated at other facilities.
