Co-founded by Kimbal Musk, the brother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Square Roots grabbed headlines for its model of refurbishing shipping containers into vertical farms that use artificial light and a controlled environment to grow greens like basil, cilantro, and parsley

Believe it or not, there’s three acres of produce growing in a parking lot in Lyons Falls. They’re inside a 500-foot shipping container. “Humblebee Farms is classified as a vertical hydroponic farm and we grow lettuce, leafy greens, vegetables, edible flowers,” owner Brandon Cunningham said

Don't let its compact size fool you -- this farm is putting out a lot of produce. Walking through the Square Roots facility in Kenosha only takes a minute or two – it’s 20 shipping containers stacked on top of each other

Steans said in his repurposed shipping container, where plants are growing vertically out of the wall linings, that he’s got enough crops to take up three to four acres of a typical farm

The dream came true, and now the students are learning about the importance of sustainable farming and even picking up some business skills along the way. The 400-square-foot container can produce about two acres of vegetables

Quality, efficiency, and sustainability are a few words that stand out regarding the process of Shepherdsville’s new indoor farm, Square Roots

They grow artisanal lettuces, unusual leafy greens, exotic herbs, and all varieties of microgreens. Each plant can be traced from seeding to eating and is delivered within hours of harvesting
