Traditional farm fields stretch north and south and east and west, but some are looking upward to grow crops. Such is the case with Vertical Harvest Farms located in famous Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Nona Yehia, CEO and co-founder, tells the story of how they worked with city officials to design and grow food in the first vertical (3-story) greenhouse in the Northern Hemisphere. Despite getting down to 40 degrees below zero, this facility grows food 365 days a year with the help of a special workforce focused on individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.
