Where can you buy food produced at 80 Acres Hamilton indoor farm?

80 Acres, the cutting-edge Hamilton-based indoor-farming company, notes its products ae “100 percent pesticide and residue free,” much fresher than products from far away because they were grown locally, sells its products at a growing list of stores and restaurants in the region.

Company CEO and co-founder Mike Zelkind last month, at the grand opening of the company’s $30-million-plus, 62,000-square-foot building, said his farm was setting a new standard for food quality, “way beyond the organic, which was the best until today.”

The same facility also will be able to grow other crops, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, and berries. The techniques for growing the optimal strawberries are being tweaked currently at an 80 Acres indoor farm in Arkansas.

“Their R&D specialists and crop specialists that understand the crop genes are making sure that we’re choosing the right varieties and making the conditions right for great-tasting food,” and once they figure that out, it moves to Hamilton,” said company spokeswoman Rebecca Haders. “It will be coming here shortly in a small way.”

“It takes steps to get it to where it needs to be to really commercialize and sell it to a lot of retailers,” she added, “But we’re super excited about berries.”
