According to Cincinnati Commercial Contracting, a construction operation in Cincinnati, CCC has finished building Square Roots' indoor farm in Shepardsville, Kentucky.
This farm is part of Square Roots' partnership with Gordon Food Services and is co-located a GFS distribution center in Shepardsville.
“Working with Gordon Food Service, we’ve tripled our aggregate growing capacity this year while entering three new strategic markets across America’s heartland,” said Tobias Peggs, Co-Founder and CEO of Square Roots. “This rapid expansion is purely driven by customer demand for our locally-grown food. And it’s been enabled by our scalable smart-farm platform — which we’ve shown can be replicated in multiple new locations, quickly and cost effectively.”
