Indoor vertical farming business OnePointOne says its Arizona farm achieved organic certification from Where Food Comes From Organic Inc. The company said this certification makes it one of the few hydroponic vertical farming brands in the country to offer certified organic produce.
OnePointOne will sell its organic produce through its consumer-facing brand, Willo.
“Willo exists to provide clean, safe, and highly nutritious food to our customers,” Sam Bertram, CEO and co-founder of OnePointOne and Willo, said in a news release. “Organic certification is evidence of this commitment to do the right thing by our customers and the environment. We will not stop until Willo’s organic produce is within reach of every American, making for a happier, healthier country.”
The company said its certification through Where Food Comes From Organic guarantees quality and transparency and it aligns with the standards of environmental stewardship and consumer health.
OnePointOne uses LED lights, robotics and data analytics in its plant production process, according to the release.
“Growing indoors means plants are protected from pests, diseases and a changing climate, ensuring our customers eat only the most nutritious, tastiest produce year-round,” Bertram said.
