AppHarvest
AppHarvest, Inc. is an American food production company developing and operating indoor farms in Appalachia. The company operates a 60-acre tomato farm in Morehead, Kentucky, with plans to operate an additional 3 farms across Kentucky. Founded by Jonathan Webb, the company aims to use Kentucky's central geographic location to reduce carbon emissions, delivering produce to Midwest and East Coast markets. AppHarvest's greenhouses aim to primarily use sunlight in lieu of LEDs for growing plants hydroponically. The company became publicly listed after a merger with special purpose acquisition company Novus Capital Corp in 2020. Since that time, the company's stock has lost more than ninety-five percent of its value, prompting increased criticism of the company's management and operations. On July 24, 2023, AppHarvest filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Locations
