Stacked Farm is Australia's first end-to-end automated, indoor vertical farm; using proprietary robots to plant, harvest, bag, and box fresh produce (if it sounds excitingly space age, trust your instincts).
The Australian Financial Review named us Australia's third most innovative company in 2023 and we're growing as fast as our best-in-class leafy greens — with additional farms, celebrity chef collaborations, new consumer-facing product rollouts, and international expansion on the cards.
Stacked Farm is at the leading edge of technology and it's obvious to us that our people are more important than any machine we design. We're an ideas meritocracy with a bias towards action and output, underpinned by a collaborative spirit from a team solving some of the most interesting problems in AgTech. Our team has agency, autonomy & purpose (micromanagement is a dirty word at Stacked) and we know greatness is in the agency of others.
