AppHarvest, Inc. is an American food production company developing and operating indoor farms in Appalachia. The company operates a 60-acre tomato farm in Morehead, Kentucky,[1][2] with plans to operate an additional 3 farms across Kentucky.[3][4]
Founded by Jonathan Webb, the company aims to use Kentucky's central geographic location to reduce carbon emissions, delivering produce to Midwest and East Coast markets.[1] AppHarvest's greenhouses aim to primarily use sunlight in lieu of LEDs for growing plants hydroponically.[5]
AppHarvest attracted notable figures to its board, including Martha Stewart, activist investor Jeffrey Ubben, former Impossible Foods CFO David Lee, and J.D. Vance, the venture capitalist and author of Hillbilly Elegy, who later won a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio.
The company became publicly listed after a merger with special purpose acquisition company Novus Capital Corp in 2020.[6] Since that time, the company's stock has lost more than ninety-five percent of its value[citation needed], prompting increased criticism of the company's management and operations.[by whom?] On July 24, 2023, AppHarvest filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[7] As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, AppHarvest's greenhouses were sold off. Its Morehead and Richmond facilities were sold to Equilibrium Capital, a long-time investor in the company, while its Somerset facility was sold to Busch Growers and its Berea facility was sold to Mastronardi.[8]
