Frontier Farms

Frontier Farms produces greens, herbs (basil and mint), and Vegas green specialty products such as agretti, fresh wasabi rhizome, oyster leaf, Peruvian black mint, etc. The company stated that it innovates by placing a vertical farming system in an insulated greenhouse. Moreover, its leafy greens are better than organic products.

Frontier Farms is an indoor vertical farming facility located in Henderson, Nevada, specializing in the production of greens, herbs, and specialty Vegas green products like agretti, fresh wasabi rhizome, oyster leaf, and Peruvian black mint. The company employs an innovative approach by integrating a vertical farming system within an insulated greenhouse environment. Frontier Farms claims that its leafy greens surpass the quality of organic products, offering superior freshness and nutritional value.

The facility utilizes a controlled environment agriculture (CEA) technique, which involves growing plants in a soilless, sterile medium made from coconut husks. This method allows for efficient water usage and eliminates the need for pesticides. Frontier Farms has developed a patented vertical growing section, enabling them to maximize their production capacity within the 10,000-square-foot warehouse.

Furthermore, the company has implemented a unique "sound recipe" system, which involves exposing the plants to specific sound vibrations. This approach has been scientifically proven to enhance plant growth and yield, with Frontier Farms reporting an expected 30-40% increase in yields through this method. As of April 2024, Frontier Farms established an on-site farmers market, offering fresh salads and packaged greens directly to consumers, fostering a true farm-to-table experience.

Key customers and partnerships

Frontier Farms has established partnerships with several local cannabis producers, collaborating on the creation of high-quality live resin, rosin, and cured resin products. Notably, the company has joined forces with Quantum Alchemy and NW Kind, leveraging its expertise in cultivating premium flower inputs for these processors.

Additionally, Frontier Farms supplies its greens, herbs, and specialty products to retail outlets like Whole Foods and restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip, catering to the growing demand for locally sourced, fresh produce in the region.
