Fragile Supply Chains
Our Indoor Farms
When people think of indoor farms, they often think about growing perishable foods. While this is the most popular application for indoor farms, it is not the only way to impact food security through these technologies.
The personal care industry has thousands of personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, and lotions that use natural plant extracts as ingredients. This demand leads to millions of acres of farmland dedicated to making us smell and feel great. By growing these types of crops indoors, we can leave these farmlands alone to regenerate or grow more foods not suitable for indoor growing.

Data Driven Farming
After years of development, the team at NuLeaf designed and built our indoor farm. One tailored to grow natural plant flavors and fragrance extracts for the food and cosmetic industry.
Our state-of-the-art automation system collects and analyzes hundreds of data points to provide precise control over the environment, nutrients, and stress conditions. Changes in these conditions allow us to influence the flavor and aromas of the plant material.
Once mature, our plants are hand-harvested, and therapeutic properties such as anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatories, stimulants, flavors and aromas are extracted from the plants. These sustainable ingredients are sold to manufacturers of eco-friendly products or used in our natural skincare and kitchen products.
Improved Food Security
At NuLeaf, we don’t just grow some of the best herbs, we also use our knowledge of vertical farms and automation to create rugged, efficient and reliable hardware and software solutions for the next generation of indoor farmers. By increasing the productivity of plants while using the fewest amount of resources, we help to widen the variety of fruits and vegetables that can be grown inside our communities. As technology advances, so too does our ability to provide year-round food security and local employment opportunities through a network of farms distributed across our cities.
Year-Round Farming
Get predictable crop yields 365 days/year without worrying about the weather or growing seasons.
Grow Locally
Displace crops typically imported from other countries & reduce foreign food dependency.
Distributed Farms
We believe that the key to a sustainable food future is to grow locally to feed locally.
At NuLeaf, we believe in combining plant science, with automation to bring the farm indoors, away from the risk of pests, disease, and climate change. Through our approach, we’re growing plants while using 90% less water, land, and transportation while creating a fraction of the food waste and eliminating the use of pesticides.
From our vertical farm facility in Calgary, Alberta, we offer a range of culinary and medicinal herb infusions and extracts for the food service and cosmetic industries.
Along our journey to becoming a leading-edge vertical farm developer,
we’ve gained decades of experience designing, building, and operating a range of indoor farm solutions. From DIY and pre-built home gardens to industrial-scale vertical farms, we share our learnings to help more people grow their food at home. By increasing food security and reducing the impact of agriculture on the environment, NuLeaf Farms is helping to grow tomorrow’s future, today.
