    Empowering communities through sustainable agriculture

    In business, it's often hard to put a true value on great partnerships and the impact they can have. At NuLeaf Farms, we’re grateful to be surrounded by organizations that share our commitment to fighting food insecurity and strengthening communities. As part of our journey to build the Red Deer Food Bank Society Community Farm, we’d like to extend a huge thank you to our incredible partners at Just Vertical and Global Medical Response. Together, they’ve generously donated 5,000 lbs. of dry goods to the Red Deer Food Bank, recognizing its innovative approach to tackling food insecurity and growing community resilience. This collaboration is a testament to the power of aligned values and shared missions in making a difference. Here’s to partnerships that drive real change! #thankyou #partnerships #community #foodsecurity #people #innovation Patrick Ladly-Fredeen Conner Tidd Mitch Thomson

    We started Just Vertical in 2016 on a mission. That mission—to alleviate food insecurity, the impact of agriculture on our planet, and the ubiquity of pesticides used on flavorless, rotten grocery store produce—is one step closer today. Why? Today we mark the OFFICIAL LAUNCH of Just Vertical Commercial - the exciting evolution of Just Vertical as we expand our impact through new large-scale indoor farms. Just Vertical Commercial is focused on larger-scale indoor farms, complimenting our pre-existing EVE, AEVA, and ECO Walls for everyday growers. Want to see what Just Vertical Commercial is all about?

    Empowering communities through sustainable agriculture

    NuLeaf Farms is proud to partner with the Red Deer Food Bank Society to launch an indoor hydroponic farm dedicated to growing fresh cherry tomatoes year-round. This innovative initiative is about more than just providing food; it's a testament to the power of community and sustainability. The farm will supply a steady stream of nutritious tomatoes for food hampers and cooking classes, empowering individuals with the knowledge to prepare healthy meals at home. The Red Deer Food Bank, redefining its role as a community cornerstone, is pioneering efforts that extend beyond emergency relief by promoting sustainable practices and educational programs. Together, we're committed to fostering growth, resilience, and lasting change in our communities. #community #foodsecurity #Foodbanks #collaborate #innovate

    We wanted to let you know we’re going to be launching a new indoor garden imminently. Excited? Well we definitely are! At Just Vertical, we don’t make gardens for ourselves (although we definitely do use them). We make them for you. However, we want to make sure we’re making the garden you want us to make. To understand what you want, what you need, and what will make a difference for growers across North America, we’d love for you to fill out a quick 5 minute survey providing your thoughts and opinions. https://bit.ly/3TP8HOw As a reward, we’ll do our utmost to integrate your feedback into the product that is ultimately launched.

    Our Founders Conner Tidd and Kevin Jakiela came back to us full of ideas and insights from their portfolio day with District Ventures Capital. It is great to see investors actively supporting their portfolio with more than capital. The opportunity to collaborate with fellow entrepreneurs and hear from leaders in the fields of marketing and entrepreneurship is incredibly valuable. One valuable lesson our founders took home from this day was on the power of a brand and brand story to create change in the market, and to create change in the world. It is important you never lose sight of why you started on this journey and what you set out to do! Thank you to all the other portfolio companies who were there to share their wisdom as well!
