Today on our Member Uplift series, we chat with Jacob Goldfarb, owner of Goldfarm Canada, a vertical farm specializing in microgreens and edible flowers. Located in downtown Guelph, they focus on sustainable and socially responsible farming. Their "hyper local" growing methods allow them to ensure the freshest, most delicious product possible, delivered within hours of harvest – year-round! 

"Ultimately this is just a job that I can really relate to and feel passionate about. It's not just a job, it's something that I really love."

In this episode, Jacob helps us dive deeper into what vertical farming means and explains how small their operation is. He'll talk about finding the positive while navigating a small business through uncertain times. We'll learn what socially responsible farming means to Goldfarm and how they continually evolve to ensure that remains a focus.
