Become a Vertical Farmer

Our History

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. We have now expanded into Edmonton, Leduc, and St. Paul through an owner-operated licensing model. 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.

Our Mission

Vertical Roots has created a system that can change lives and bring fresh, healthy, chemical-free food to local communities. By growing locally we can ensure nutrient dense greens, that are 100% clean!  Founders, Mike and Becky are excited to expand across Canada to bring fresh food & sustainable growth to local communities.
