INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) An indoor-farming facility using cutting-edge technology is bringing new food options to the city’s east side.
Uplift Producegrows, harvests and packages leafy greens in a renovated 60,000-square-foot facility in Indianapolis.
“We say that we’re fresh-to-market in hours and the reason for that is we actually harvest, pack and ship within a matter of a few hours into distribution channels,” Chris Arnold, CEO of Uplift Produce, said Friday.
Keith Cooper, Uplift Produce location manager, said depending on the product, they grow from seed to finish in 14-21 days, with a “100% controlled environment. So, we’re controlling the CO2, the humidity and temperature to be exactly at the set points that the plant needs.”
