To accelerate the world’s transition to indoor farming.

VIGEO GARDENS began as a humble venture in the basement, with a mission to grow microgreens specifically for cancer patients, providing them with nutrient-dense food options to support their health. This small-scale operation, driven by our passion for both agriculture and patient care, quickly demonstrated the potential of indoor farming. As we navigated through various challenges and opportunities, we experienced significant growth, necessitating a move to a more expansive space. This led us to relocate to the Bounce Innovation Hub in Akron, Ohio, where our dedicated team immersed themselves in mastering the intricacies of indoor farming.

With our relentless commitment to innovation and sustainability, VIGEO GARDENS continued to expand, transforming from a 1,000 square-foot operation into the impressive Rubber City Farm. Now occupying nearly 30,000 square feet in the historic BF Goodrich tire factories in downtown Akron, our farm symbolizes the fusion of modern agricultural techniques with the city’s rich industrial heritage. Today, VIGEO GARDENS stands as a testament to the power of perseverance and vision, providing fresh, locally-grown produce to the community while pioneering new standards in urban farming.

  • At VIGEO GARDENS, freshness is a cornerstone of our commitment to quality. Our products are harvested, packaged, and delivered within 24 hours to destinations within a 300-mile radius of our farm. This rapid turnaround ensures that our leafy greens are at their peak when they reach our customers, providing the best possible flavor and nutritional value. By minimizing the time from farm to table, we guarantee that you are receiving the freshest product possible, all while significantly reducing food miles and the associated environmental impact.

  • Safety is paramount at VIGEO GARDENS. We are dedicated to providing products that are free from pesticides and herbicides, resulting in greens that are clean and ready to consume right out of the package. Our entire facility operates under stringent food safety standards and protocols, ensuring that every step of our process adheres to the highest levels of hygiene and safety. This meticulous approach means you can trust that our products are handled with care, from our farm to your table, offering you peace of mind with every bite.

  • Sustainability is at the heart of VIGEO GARDENS' mission. Our innovative farming practices use significantly less water and ensure that no organic waste ends up in landfills. By growing our products locally and reducing the miles they travel, we lower the carbon footprint of each bite, contributing to a healthier planet. Furthermore, all organic material waste from our farm is composted and repurposed to build community farms in Akron, Ohio. This not only supports local agriculture but also extends the longevity of our products, reducing waste and fostering a sustainable food system.
