A hydroponic farming company in Kentucky has opened a new 60-acre indoor growing facility that will allow for year-round farming regardless of the weather.

AppHarvest, a sustainable food company, has opened several high-tech farming facilities in the Appalachian region in the past few years. The company now has a network of four farms in Kentucky consisting of “165 acres under glass,” the company said in a news release. The facilities range in size from 15 acres to two 60-acre facilities, each growing different produce such as tomatoes, strawberries, and cucumbers.
