We all know the term “farm to table” but what about indoor farm-to-table AND same day harvest-to-table? That’s definitely a new one. Clayton Mooney, founder of Clayton Farms, formerly known as Nebulam explains how their model works in this episode. Mooney believes indoor farming in Iowa and same day harvest-delivery subscription service is the future of produce.

Their original plan did not include being the farm itself, but instead, the indoor-farming version of John Deere. However, COVID-19 derailed the original business plan forcing Mooney and company to find a way to stay afloat during the nationwide shutdown. Mooney explains the technology behind the indoor farms. It isn’t vertical farming that has grown in popularity, instead think Ikea for produce.
