Altius is Latin for higher. Higher taste, sustainability and production, comes from better farming.

Altius Farms’ mission is to build stable and lasting farms that produce beautiful greens, locally grown, year round.  We will be the highest (elevation), vertical aeroponic, farm in the US and one of the largest.  Our farms will serve as OJT sites for Veterans and urban youth. Our Denver flagship farm will offer urban AG tours, educational classes and special events.

Our clients and customers will include: restaurants, food service, markets and residents. In Colorado, demand for “locally grown” far exceeds supply as 97% of leafy greens, consumed annually, are imported from out of state (California, Arizona).

We produce our produce with patented, vertical aeroponics which uses only 10% of the land, 10% of the water and delivers 10 times the yield (in one harvest).  We harvest every 21-25 days.  We take local food production to higher ground.

HUMAN health: Eating more fresh, clean hyper local food equals a healthier community.

ENVIRONMENTAL benefits: Clean and sustainable operations, stewards natural resources.

ECONOMIC impact: Produce new green “green” jobs that deliver a 3x local dollar multiplier.

COMMUNITY engagement: Urban AG training.  Residential gardening: Tower Gardens. Tours/events.

Scaling local:  Around 40% of America’s annual fruit & vegetable consumption was grown, locally, during WWII.  The Victory Gardens, of WWII, were a shining example of local food production by citizens. Seventy years later, a modern day Victory Gardens sequel is occurring through greenhouse farming.  View this compelling TED talk and listen to the Colorado Public Radio interview.
