AppHarvest is building some of America's largest greenhouses, combining conventional agriculture techniques with today’s tech ... nology to grow non-GMO, chemical-free produce. Our first greenhouse in Morehead, Kentucky, will span 60 acres. The facility will use 90% less water than traditional open-field agriculture.
