Company mission
To build the world's largest farm, one installation at a time.
63% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Smallhold is at the forefront of the rapidly changing food industry. From a demand perspective, consumers are demanding organic, healthy and sustainable options. On the supply side, agriculture practices are finally being modernised by technologies like vertical farming.
In response, Smallhold builds scalable, resilient farming infrastructure. That means modular, high-output technology-enabled Minifarms that grow mushrooms in homes, grocery stores and restaurants.
The company is now focused on rapidly expanding its infrastructure, building farms in new markets and bringing specialty mushrooms to more people. That also means further development of Smallhold’s technology and supply chains.
Smallhold’s product is receiving rave reviews from their users, including restaurant kitchens, such as Maison Yaki. To reach massive scale Smallhold will need to convert these enthusiasts into an appetite for its new products at the forefront of the circular economy.
