Covering 40,000 square feet, the world’s first vertical strawberry farm just opened in Virginia
A startup just opened the world’s first scalable, indoor vertical strawberry farm in Richmond, Virginia. The farm is designed to produce over 4 million pounds of strawberries every year.
The strawberries grow in a facility that uses advanced software to control temperature, light, and humidity — creating the ideal growing environment for the planet.
And that’s more important than ever, as not only is the agriculture sector a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions that exacerbate the climate crisis (and uses a ton of water) — the climate crisis itself has heavily impacted food systems globally.
Why is this good news? The driving force for recent innovations in farming is directly correlated to the mass crop death and heavy financial losses spurred by climate-related disasters. This solution protects food systems from climate change issues while also protecting the environment from the harmful impacts of mass agriculture.

“The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement”
By Sharon McMahon
In “The Small and the Mighty,” (available now!) Sharon McMahon (a.k.a. “America’s government teacher,” on Instagram) proves the most remarkable Americans are the ones you won’t read about in most textbooks — they’re “ordinary” people who made a big difference. They’re formerly enslaved people, teachers, and poets — and they light the path to creating a world that’s more just, peaceful, good, and free.
