Strawberry production underway at UK’s largest vertical farm
BerryWorld has partnered with Dutch smart farm specialist Smartkas to produce Eve’s Delight strawberries in what is thought to be the largest vertical farm in the UK.
With over 27,000 sq m of growing space and 12 layers, the same height as a four-storey building, the Smartkas facility in Harlow, Essex claims to be the UK’s largest and highest-yielding vertical farm.
