Become a Vertical Farmer

Hydroponic Farm Systems

As of 2026 there are 2 ways to own a Vertical Roots Canada Hydroponic Vertical Grow System. Become a Farmer and come under the brand umbrella OR be Powered By and have the freedom to add to your existing business or have your own independent vertical growing business using our system. Vertical Roots Canada is passionate about making local, year-round, food production possible for ANYONE! Our small-medium commercial-scale hydroponic farms create opportunities for local residents to be part of the food supply solution.

What started with 2 large commercial aquaponic farms launched in the Philippines in 2018, was followed by a prototype hydroponics farm that launched in rural Alberta in 2020. Vertical Roots Canada expanded into Edmonton, Leduc, and Drayton Valley through an owner-operated licensing model from 2021-2023 becoming the only turn-key vertical hydroponics system available within Canada. 

 

Powered By

Our Powered By model has been created and developed for those who have their own business in place and want to add a Vertical Roots Canada Hydroponic Vertical Grow System to an already established brand. This may also be a fit for those who wish to be independent but do not wish to “reinvent” the wheel. This option gives freedom to the grower to grow, pack, and distribute how you feel fit with a set flat rate monthly operational fee which includes quarterly delivery of operational supplies required to operate a Vertical Roots Canada Hydroponics Vertical Grow System and support. Choosing to be Powered By farm allows our turn-key hydroponic system to be build to your customized requirements with hydroponic operations SOP’s provided, in-person training and ongoing support. You may also use our powered by logo to back your product with our established and trusted brand.

 

Vertical Roots Farmer

Becoming a Vertical Roots Canada Farmer is our original offering which we have adjusted as we have learned and grown with our first farmers. This allows you to be under our Vertical Roots Brand with your community taking on the name, for example, Vertical Roots Edmonton. As a Vertical Roots Canada farmer you will receive everything you need to grow, with the power of our brand behind your marketing and sales. This includes a website, marketing training, social media support and online ads. Following our SOP’s including varieties, packaging requirements, and sales channels, this model is a copy cat model of all Vertical Roots Canada farms, which ensure the product quality and pricing across the board. Enjoy a flat rate monthly operational fee that delivers all operational products you need to produce along with 24-7 support.
