Company profile

Upward Farms company profile

Upward Farms grows high ecological and quality standard leafy greens and fish to nourish people, families, and the planet. Their farms marry modern vertical farming with the ancient farming practice of aquaponics. Aquaponics uses fish to fertilize crops in a complete ecosystem. In indigenous aquaponic practices, the fish swim directly below plants, and their manure makes the soil more fertile. We have revolutionized this technique by raising fish and plants in their own ideal environments within an intact ecosystem, achieving new levels of quality, safety, and productivity.
