Vertical farming pioneer; emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023, now profitable in microgreens with ~70% US retail market share in that category.
AeroFarms is a Newark, New Jersey-based vertical farming company founded in 2004 by David Rosenberg and Marc Oshima. The company pioneered aeroponic growing technology — delivering nutrients as a fine mist to plant roots suspended in the air — enabling highly efficient indoor crop production without soil or sunlight. AeroFarms built some of the world's largest indoor vertical farms before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2023 following overexpansion and rising energy costs.\n\nAfter restructuring, the reorganized AeroFarms abandoned multi-facility expansion plans and focused operations on a single flagship facility. Crucially, the company pivoted its product focus from commodity salad greens to premium microgreens, where it now controls approximately 70% of the US retail market. This focused strategy enabled AeroFarms to achieve profitability — a remarkable turnaround that has become a case study in CEA operational discipline.\n\nAeroFarms' aeroponic technology platform remains at the cutting edge of controlled environment agriculture, and the company continues to license its IP and provide consulting services to third-party operators. Its survival and profitability post-bankruptcy stand in stark contrast to peers like Bowery Farming and Plenty, which ceased operations or filed for liquidation.
