Vertical Harvest Partners with the Food Bank of Wyoming

Vertical Harvest, an indoor vertical farming company that grows and distributes healthier foods to communities, is now partnering with the Food Bank of Wyoming to deliver fresh foods to organizations fighting food insecurity. The partnership has led to almost 225 pounds of fresh greens being delivered to Lander Share and Care Food Banks since these two organizations launched a pilot donation program. Through the pilot, greens arrive twice a month and are fresh within a day of harvest. They also come with recipe and educational materials from the Cent$ible Nutrition Program, Wyoming’s SNAP-Ed and TEFAP Programs.
