Clayton Farms Salads

Clayton Farms (YC W19) is revolutionizing food through their Clayton Farms Salads restaurants, where they build an onsite farm that grows greens just 15 feet from the kitchen. Their model ensures each salad has up to 50% more nutrition and flavor, while minimizing environmental impact through reduced transportation, recycled water, and little to no waste.

The company’s mission centers around longevity. Fast food reduces the average lifespan by 2 years. As Clayton Farms scales nationwide, they expect to serve 10% of the US population (about 35 million people). Each customer can gain a minimum of 2 years back. 70+ million years to humanity.

Co-Founders Clayton Mooney and Danen Pool have deep expertise in agriculture, engineering, and consumer; having been a 2nd generation farmer and previous co-founder of a food technology company which launched its product into 50 countries worldwide. By bridging the gap between technology and farming, Clayton Farms is setting a new standard for food.
