Garden Fresh

Garden Fresh Farms is a biotechnology and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) company based in Maplewood, Minnesota. Founded in 2010 by Dave Roeser, the company developed the 'Orbiting Garden,' a proprietary high-density hydroponic platform that optimizes space and energy for indoor farming. While the company serves the food industry with fresh produce, it has established a significant presence in the life sciences sector through its work in plant molecular farming. In collaboration with its sister company, MNPHARM, Garden Fresh Farms utilizes its platform to grow genetically modified plants that produce recombinant proteins and other high-value biologics, including potential treatments for cancer and infectious diseases. The company's technology offers a sustainable and scalable alternative to traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing methods, positioning it as a key player in the emerging agri-biotech space.
