Clayton Farms Salads

Clayton Farms is revolutionizing local agriculture with its vertically integrated indoor farming model, delivering pesticide-free produce directly to consumers within hours of harvest. By combining hydroponic technology with a subscription-based delivery service, the company ensures year-round availability of fresh greens, microgreens, and herbs, all cultivated without soil. This approach not only guarantees freshness but also minimizes environmental impact by reducing transportation and waste.

Originally founded as Nebullam in 2017, the company pivoted during the pandemic from supplying farming equipment to operating its own farms, rebranding as Clayton Farms to reflect this new direction. Their innovative six-stack vertical growing systems are managed by proprietary software that optimizes lighting, watering, and nutrient delivery, resulting in consistent, high-quality yields. With facilities in Iowa and Minnesota, Clayton Farms is expanding its footprint to meet growing demand for sustainable, locally grown produce.

Led by co-founders Clayton Mooney and Danen Pool, the team brings together expertise in agriculture, engineering, and entrepreneurship. Their mission-driven approach has garnered recognition and support from various startup accelerators and agricultural innovation programs. By bridging the gap between technology and farming, Clayton Farms is setting a new standard for how communities access fresh, healthy food.
