Production Line Lead (Packout)

ABOUT THE COMPANY

The Future of Fresh is Here!

Food isn't what it used to be. We made it better, and we did it by building a different kind of farm. A farm that doesn't need sun, soil or favorable weather to do its thing. A farm where pesticides have no place-because everything's indoors, monitored and controlled, 24/7. We built a farm where robots do the heavy lifting, so the humans can focus on growing the freshest, most nutritious food possible. A farm that can produce over 300 times more food than an ordinary farm. With 100% renewable energy. And 97% less water. Pretty unbelievable, right? Well, believe it. This farm is real. We call it 80 Acres Farms. Fresher food awaits you.

Powering 80 Acres Farms is the Infinite Acres technology platform, our closed loop, integrated, end-to end system with best-in-class hardware, software, and controls. The research and data teams at Infinite Acres give our farms the information and technology that make our plants grow better.

By combining our world-class technology with super-efficient vertical farming techniques, we produce a lot more in a much smaller space.

If you're the kind of person who wants to make a difference join a team that is shaking things up in the local food chain.
