About Aurora Glen Farms
Our Founding Story
Founded in 2017, Aurora Glen Farms was born from a passion for innovation and a deep commitment to environmental stewardship.
The name is inspired by our method and our location: Aurora refers to the beautiful, deep red and blue aurora-like lights powering the plants' growth, while Glen is a nod to our geographic home. We built the farm vertical to create a hyper-efficient, productive, and secure growing environment, revolutionizing the way fresh food is delivered year-round.
The Science of Freshness
At the heart of Aurora Glen Farms is our state-of-the-art vertical farm. Inside our climate-controlled facility, we utilize **hydroponics**—a soilless method—to deliver precise nutrients directly to our plants' roots.
Powered by optimized **LED lighting**, our crops thrive in an ideal environment, regardless of the weather outside, ensuring peak-season quality 365 days a year. This advanced approach allows us to use up to 95% less water than traditional farming.
Our Diverse Harvest
We take pride in the diverse range of fresh, flavorful plants we cultivate:
- Leafy Green Vegetables: A vibrant selection of crisp lettuces and nutrient-rich greens.
- Microgreens: Tiny but mighty, packed with concentrated flavor and nutrition.
- A Variety of Herbs: Everything from basil and mint to chives, all bursting with aromatic oils.
- Specialty Ornamentals: Including fragrant plants such as lavender.
Our Spring Nursery
Beyond our vertical produce, we also operate a dedicated **nursery**. We use our expertise in controlled growing to help you get a head start on your outdoor gardening. Stop by in the spring to pick up strong, healthy seedlings and young plants, ready to transition right into your **springtime garden planting**. It's our way of helping the whole community grow!
