Living Greens
Faribault, MN
The folks at Living Greens are dreamers. And even more importantly, they're doers. Headquartered in the Minnesota heartland where crops only grow a few months each year—they knew they could find a better way. Aeroponics is a revolutionary, indoor vertical farming approach that allows Living Greens to grow fresh greens and herbs 365 days a year—even when fields are scorched by heat or temperatures plummet below zero. Their farm gives Midwesterners access to fresh greens year-round. They envision a day that no matter where you live in the U.S., 365-day greens grown near you are a reality for all. Changing the world for the better starts with one person, one bite and one Living Greens salad at a time.
