Gonen Farms, the innovative U.S.-based agricultural technology company specializing in controlled-environment, water-efficient indoor farming, today announced the launch of its largest-to-date Vertical Farming Facility in This expansion is part of a new $1 million capital deployment led by its parent company, GONEN CORP., which has been building and developing across the agricultural, real estate, media, and technology sectors since 1977.
The new facility dramatically scales Gonen Farms’ production of pesticide-free, plant-based produce, leveraging GONEN CORP.’s proprietary technology stack and real estate development expertise to create a fully integrated food supply chain hub.
Key Highlights of the Expansion and Integrated Strategy
The new facility and capital injection underscore Gonen Corp.’s commitment to merging its core business pillars for sustainable growth:
* Technology & Agriculture: The facility utilizes Gonen Corp.’s proprietary hydroponic and AI-driven growth systems to maximize yield per square foot while maintaining a 95% reduction in water usage compared to traditional field farming. This move solidifies Gonen Farms’ position in the plant-based food sector.
* Real Estate & Build: The project was fully managed by GONEN CORP.’s Real Estate and Construction division, demonstrating the corporation’s unique advantage in designing, financing, and rapidly deploying specialized controlled-environment infrastructure—a key differentiator in the high-CapEx indoor farming industry.
* Media & Brand: The investment includes dedicated capital for expanding the “Gonen Fresh” consumer brand footprint through targeted media campaigns, leveraging GONEN CORP.’s media assets to educate consumers on the benefits of locally grown, year-round, pesticide-free produce.
* Financial Commitment: The $1 million investment is drawn from GONEN CORP.’s internal capital resources, reflecting the corporation’s confidence in its long-term vision and its 48-year track record of successful development and asset management.
