AeroFarms, a vertical farming startup, has closed a $20 million financing round led by Wheatsheaf Group with participation from previous backers GSR Ventures, MissionPoint Capital and Middleland Capital.
AeroFarms is a mission-driven company leading the way to address our global food crisis by building, owning, and operating farms that grow locally flavorful, safe, healthy food in a sustainable and socially responsible way, setting a new standard for totally controlled agriculture. An environmental champion, they have been fundamentally transforming the agriculture business by disintermediating the supply chain by enabling local farming at commercial scale all year round. Their mission, vision, and core values are the foundation of their management philosophy guiding us on not only what we do but also how we do it.
