Why Indoor Farming Is the Future—And How Produce Now’s 20-Foot Mini Harvest™ Is Leading the Way

Across the country, people are rethinking food. They want fresher ingredients, cleaner labels, transparent sourcing, and options that support long-term health. Surveys show this shift is real—half of Americans say they’re eating more fresh foods than a year ago.

At the center of this transformation is indoor farming, also known as controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). By growing in sealed, climate-controlled spaces with optimized light, water, air, and nutrients, indoor farming can deliver consistent quality, 12 months a year—completely independent of weather.

Produce Now’s Vision: Local, Fresh, and Year-Round

Produce Now exists to make this new era of food production accessible to everyone.

We design and deliver modular, fully configurable grow systems—from compact pods for homes and restaurants to large-scale operations for schools, grocers, and communities. Every system we build is guided by four core pillars:
Customization. Reliability. Cleanliness. Efficiency.

Why This Matters Now

Consumers are increasingly using food as medicine.
According to Deloitte’s 2025 Health and Food Study, over 70% of U.S. consumers prioritize fresh foods for better nutrition, energy, and long-term wellness.

Meanwhile, traditional agriculture faces serious challenges—from unpredictable weather to rising transportation costs.

Indoor farming provides the solution:

  • Up to 90% less water use

  • Zero pesticides

  • Local production that cuts shipping and waste
