(Green Bay, WI) – February 14, 2025 – Fork Farms, an innovator in food access technology, is proud to announce a new partnership with HPS LLC, a Delaware not-for-profit limited liability company that works to strengthen communities by helping its members fulfill their missions.

This two-year agreement, effective February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2027, brings @HPS’ member institutions access to sustainable, hyper-local food production. The HPS reference contract number is 1080 and will reflect the most current pricing and availability.

HPS' membership is made up of more than 4,900 organizations in 36 states. Membership includes: hospitals, medical groups, senior living facilities, schools and educational groups, senior nutritional feeding programs, county governments, religious organizations, camps, jails, and more.

As a mission-first agriculture technology company, Fork Farms is committed to empowering people to grow their own fresh food. Through this new partnership with HPS’ member/participant institutions, Fork Farms will expand its reach, providing revolutionary hydroponic farming systems to organizations that share a vision for sustainability, health, and community enrichment. By joining forces, Fork Farms and HPS aim to make indoor farming more accessible, impactful, and sustainable.

“Fork Farms is proud to partner with HPS and help bring more access to fresh, local food to communities across the country,” said Alex Tyink, Founder and CEO of Fork Farms. “Our mission is to increase access for everyone to fresh food, and this partnership will give people the tools they need to grow their own fresh food sustainably and efficiently.”

Fork Farms’ indoor mobile hydroponic growing systems offer a compact, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to grow fresh produce year-round, regardless of location and climate. The technology is already transforming access to fresh, healthy food in diverse spaces—schools, hospitals, community centers, and food banks—where it also promotes hands-on learning in sustainable agriculture. Each Flex Farm is delivered with a complete K-12 curriculum aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) making it easy for educators to incorporate hydroponics into their lessons and teach a wide range of subjects, including STEM, sustainability, nutrition, and more.

With this agreement, HPS’ member institutions now have access to Fork Farms’ complete lineup of indoor farming products, including the Flex Farm, the most efficient indoor, mobile hydroponic farm on the planet that can grow 25 pounds of leafy greens in less than a month and in just nine square feet of space.
