Vertical farming is climbing Google trends in 2025, and it’s arriving in unexpected places—including western Colorado. Indoor, stacked farms offer sustainable, year‑round produce perfect for communities like Fruita CO.
As a local executive, I’m excited about the possibilities: fresh greens in winter, lower transport emissions, and education opportunities for youth.
Why It Matters Locally:
- Enhances regional food resilience
- Reduces carbon impact from long-distance shipments
- Sparks local innovation and job training
How to Support It:
- Partner with regional ag startups
- Offer pilot space in existing buildings
- Promote local produce through farm-to-table events
