We recently installed vertical farms for a retirement community in the Atlanta area.
Seeing smiles on the residents faces as we walk in and host a harvest is the highlight of our month!
#esgintegration #mentalwellbeing #copianafarms #wellbuildingstandard #verticalfarming #aeroponicfarming #urbanfarming #hydroponicfarming
Our vertical aeroponic farms are an easy addition to your otherwise hectic world and require no upfront capital cost.
We’ve found harvest days to be some of the most rewarding events for property managers for three reasons:
You don’t raise a finger. We harvest, set up, and pass out fresh produce to your tenants at no additional cost.
It never gets old. As we return to each location, our popularity grows. Regulars return and bring new friends with them.
It’s so personally rewarding to see people leaving our table with a handful of fresh herbs and a smile!

Copiana hands out big bunches of kale year-round at our harvests, and people are always asking me how I like to prepare it. There are so many ways to use kale, from throwing it into the air fryer for a chip-like texture to sauteing it as the perfect side dish. But for us, the simple kale salad will always have our heart. This ready-made pantry dish can be whipped up at a moment's notice and is sure to change minds about this leafy green.
Ingredients
● 1 Bunch of Copiana Kale, roughly chopped
● 2 TBSP Olive Oil
● 2 TBSP Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
● 1/2 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
● 1/3 Cup Sliced Almonds
● Sea Salt and Black Pepper to Taste
Instructions
Add the kale to a large mixing bowl and drizzle evenly with olive oil.
Using your fingers, massage the oil into the kale for 1-2 minutes until the kale has softened.
Add in the lemon juice, parmesan, and almonds. Toss until evenly combined.
Taste and season with however much salt and black pepper that you'd like!

Vertical Farms enchant people from ages 1-100, and we have the stats to back it!
We recently sat down with Vickery Rose Retirement Home’s tenants and asked them what they like about having our vertical farms on site. Our favorite answer? The longevity of our lettuce.

About Copiana
Our Co-Founder, Jim McCutcheon, watched a local farm near his childhood home fall to urban sprawl. He’s been captivated by what happened to that farm and the farmers ever since. Learn how he’s bringing farms back to unexpected places.

Copiana's fresh oregano grows so large that cooking through it seems intimidating. We often find ourselves putting it in everything we can before it goes on the drying rack. Recently, we found an easy way to add it to your butter. We love it on grilled cheese with greenhouse tomatoes, spinach, Copiana basil, and brie.
Most Copiana herbs go into butter quite nicely, so feel free to mix and match with whatever herb you brought home with your harvest.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Butter, Softened
4 TSP Minced Fresh Copiana Oregano
1-1/2 TSP Minced Fresh Copiana Thyme
1/2 TSP Garlic Powder
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine the butter, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. Beat on medium-low speed until mixture is combined.
