About Us

We're on a mission to change the world by growing better

We're a full-scale, energy-saving, sustainably powered vertical farm, on a bold mission to transform the farming system for the better—creating nutritious, affordable, and delicious food that doesn't cost the earth.

Our purpose? To change the world by growing better. We're tackling one of the world's biggest challenges—sustainable food production—while empowering communities to thrive on better, greener food choices. By 2050, 1 in 3 people will be eating vertically farmed food, proving we can feed a growing world using less land.

We boldly grow where no one has grown before. Our vertically farmed produce is made possible by an incredible team of rocket scientists (see what we did there?), engineers, leaf whisperers, and passionate people. We grow together—collaborating, challenging, and supporting each other.

Our team has grown to 130 people, and we're always looking for passionate, plant-loving, purpose-driven individuals. At GrowUp, we believe in standing tall, doing what we say we'll do, and taking pride in our work. We're looking for people driven by purpose, ready to think big, and excited about creating a better world through sustainable food systems.

Our Story

In 2013, we started combining technologies to grow better food with less impact on the planet. Our breakthrough? Cracking the biggest challenge in vertical farming—energy. We use renewable heating and cooling to reduce our reliance on electricity and dramatically cut energy costs.

We're growers with a deep-rooted respect for the British farming tradition. Using technology, innovation, and bold thinking, we aim to solve global food production challenges and build a more resilient food system.

From an idea eleven years ago to £100m+ investment and the creation of Pepperness in Sandwich, Kent, we're growing toward a better future, supported by Generate Capital, a US Public Benefit Corporation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. More farms, more crops, more impact.

Our Values

  • Deep Rooted

We do the right thing, even when no one is looking. We care about people, the planet and our business. We're powered by purpose.

  • Think Big

We're courageous innovators. We thrive on bold ambitions. We avoid unnecessary complexity.

  • Grow Together

We're one team. We collaborate around the same goal. We challenge each other to unlock our full potential.

  • Stand Tall

We do what we say we're going to do. We're proud of our work. We celebrate it.
