AppHarvest is an American agricultural technology company founded in 2017 that develops and operates large-scale indoor farming facilities. The company is headquartered in Morehead, Kentucky, and specializes in growing produce using controlled environment agriculture (CEA) technology. The company operates several high-tech greenhouse facilities across Kentucky, including its flagship 60-acre facility in Morehead, which primarily produces tomatoes. AppHarvest’s facilities utilize advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and data analytics to optimize growing conditions. Their greenhouses employ hydroponic growing systems that use up to 90% less water than traditional farming methods and rely primarily on recycled rainwater. AppHarvest became publicly traded in February 2021 through a merger with Novus Capital Corporation, listing on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “APPH.” The company’s business model focuses on sustainable agriculture practices while addressing food security concerns and reducing transportation distances for fresh produce in the eastern United States. The company’s facilities are strategically located within a day’s drive of approximately 70% of the U.S. population, enabling faster delivery of fresh produce to major metropolitan areas. AppHarvest’s agricultural approach aims to provide consistent, year-round crop production while minimizing environmental impact and resource consumption.
