At Bowery, we dream of a world where agriculture gives back more to the people and planet than it takes.

It’s time to reimagine farming from the ground up

Did you know that by 2050, we’ll need to produce 70% more food to feed an estimated world population of 10 billion? As it currently stands, our agricultural system cannot sustainably feed that many people, most of whom will be living in urban areas. To feed the future, farming needs to aim higher.

Do more with less

At Bowery, we know there’s always room for improvement. That’s why we’re constantly on a pursuit to find ways to do more with less.

Less Resources

Our newest farm in Bethlehem, PA features pioneering sustainability enhancements. The farm is powered by 100% renewable energy and features 15% more efficient LED lighting. A state-of-the-art water recapture and filtration system has been custom-built to harness even the water that is transpired from the plants, and ensure the highest-quality food safety standards.

Less Packaging

Our latest packaging uses 45% less plastic thanks to a flexible peel-and-reseal top. While this is an important step in our packaging journey, we’re far from done as we will continue to innovate toward a more sustainable future. READ MORE
