Emerald Green Farm Ltd

Emerald Greens, based in Ballyporeen, Co Tipperary, is Ireland’s first and largest vertical farm, pioneering controlled‑environment agriculture for the domestic market. Using stacked shelves illuminated by LED lights and a fully sealed hydroponic system, the company grows tender baby leaf greens, spicy Asian varieties and flavour‑rich herbs from seed to plate in 28 days or less – all without soil, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.

The farm’s water‑wise technology recirculates moisture, cutting usage by 95 % compared with conventional agriculture, while the indoor setting eliminates food‑mile travel, delivering fresher, tastier and more nutritious produce year‑round. Emerald Greens supplies supermarkets, caterers and food‑service operators with consistently high‑quality, ready‑to‑eat greens that require no washing, helping customers meet sustainability goals and consumer demand for clean, locally sourced food.
