VERTICAL BARN
From our barn to your plate
At the Vertical Barn, we’re revolutionising the way we grow fresh produce, cultivating a diverse range of herbs, leafy greens, specialty vegetables, and culinary fungi like Lion's Mane, all year round. Our innovative vertical farming methods maximise space and resources, providing you with the freshest, high-quality ingredients while addressing food sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint.
