"We don’t believe there are unsolvable problems. We think there are problems that we haven’t figured out or solved yet. We believe there are teams that give up because there's too much at stake, and they have to go way too far, and at some point, they give up. But those that keep fighting through to the end will either die, or they will create something that is truly legendary." —Mike Zelkind Our founders, Mike and Tisha, opened up about our path to scale and our determination to solve "unsolvable" problems in food and agriculture on the latest episode of Altix Consulting's The Industrialist podcast.

Did you know that the butter cow, now a Midwestern state fair staple, debuted at the Ohio State Fair in 1903? Our home state's big summertime expo has always led the country in celebrating farmers, and this year, the organizers invited us to join the fun. We know what you're thinking: Can lettuce really compete with butter sculptures, carnival rides, and deep-fried food on a stick? When it's this fresh and flavorful, it can! We're staying busy showing off our farm on wheels, the Gromobile, and sharing our fresh produce and our story with fairgoers—including Governor Mike DeWine! #ohio #ohiostatefair

Earlier this month, we opened a first-of-its-kind collaborative R&D center at Infinite Acres headquarters in The Netherlands, with support from our partners at Siemens, SICK Sensor Intelligence, Signify, and TTA. Wondering what that looks like? Check out this quick recap of our grand opening! Tisha Livingston Mike Zelkind Judith Wiese Rick Schneiders Dirk De Bilde Ellis Janssen Renko Schuil Shawn Harris

Going to #IndoorAgTech next week? The summit is opening with a panel featuring our CFO, Jed Lynch, and other industry leaders. After a tough few years for the CEA industry, we'll be talking about why we feel confident continuing to grow our footprint, from Kentucky to the Netherlands.

"It's time for us to break down barriers," says 80 Acres Farms co-founder and Infinite Acres CEO Tisha Livingston. Today, at Infinite Acres headquarters in The Hague, we opened our new Field Lab and Experience Center with partner companies Siemens, SICK Sensor Intelligence, Signify, and TTA. This first-of-its-kind research center is a space where we can collaborate and co-create to advance vertical farming. Our industry has huge potential, but we still have a lot to learn, and this is how we can do it—quickly and efficiently.

Heading to GreenTech in Amsterdam next week? So are we! Here's where you'll find us, when we aren't walking the floor or talking about our collaboration with Siemens at their booth.
