At Near & Dear we are bringing the Chipotle model to vertical farming. Our vision is building our ultra-scalable, ultra-profitable farms across the world. We’re doing this to provide communities everywhere with the tastiest, most fresh greens and veggies they’ve ever had. Doing it sustainably with less water and land, no pesticides, herbicides,
or semi trucks. There is no long-distance transportation, our foods are produced in our communities by our neighbors.
It starts with our technology. We’ve spent 4 years developing a technology centered around utilizing standard greenhouse equipment. Because when we merge our proprietary system and processes with standard, off-the-shelf machinery, the capital needed to build and operate these farms is so minimal.
