Bowery Farming opens vertical farm in Bethlehem Steel’s vacated property
Otherwise unusable as agricultural land, the Bethlehem, Pa.-based property can support indoor vertical farming
Bowery Farming, a major vertical farming company, opened its largest, most technologically advanced and sustainable commercial smart farm in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Transforming a former Bethlehem brownfield from a non-arable industrial site into modern farmland, the company’s newest commercial farm lays the groundwork for the next chapter in climate-smart agriculture.
The Bethlehem Farm features industry-leading technological advancements and pioneering sustainability initiatives and is the key to accelerating expansion of the company’s network of farms across the U.S. With this blueprint, Bowery has created a replicable system to grow food wherever and whenever it is needed as it continues its growth trajectory.
