Rising Farms

The modern consumer is more discerning than ever, making every purchase a conscious choice. It’s no longer just about taste, rather safety, sustainability and quality now drive their decisions. Those who team up with sustainable wholesalers will drive the next era of food retail. Rising Farms is that partner, turning this vision into reality through uncompromising sustainable excellence.

A high-tech indoor farming producer and packer specializing in premium-quality tomatoes, the company integrates modern agricultural technologies to create a highly efficient and sustainable farming operation. The result is a product that meets the highest industry standards and endorsed by top-tier retailers across Canada and the United States.

“Our product is the best because we give plants what they need when they need it,” says Pablo Ricaud, CEO. “We use a combination of cutting-edge technologies like precision irrigation, climate control, artificial intelligence and automated packing machinery for an enhanced indoor farming system.”

The Path to Success: Automation

Rising Farms’ technicians and managers have developed proprietary AI-driven systems that autonomously adjust irrigation, ventilation and heating based on real-time environmental conditions. They eliminate human error, ensuring that crops receive optimal care every hour of every day. If the temperature rises or humidity levels change, it instantly recalibrates, adjusting nutrient mixes and water distribution accordingly.

As land and water resources grow scarcer by the day, Rising Farms’ model presents a better alternative to meet growing food demands while protecting the environment. Its combination of hydroponic growing techniques and AI-driven climate control systems yields up to 30 times more output per square meter than traditional farming while using 90 percent less water per pound of produce. This level of excellence, however, was not achieved overnight.

A Success Built on Determination

Rising Farms’ journey to leadership in sustainable agriculture is a story of grit and determination. The company was built from the ground up during one of the most challenging periods in modern history — early 2020, when the world was grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite hurdles, it soldiered on, growing steadily and becoming one of the most prominent players in the market. Rising Farms has maintained an impressive annual growth rate of 75 percent since its founding and is poised to scale even further. Recently, the company hit yet another milestone by acquiring of a third operation in Mexico. Backed by a Swiss sustainability fund, this strategic move provides scalable capital structures to drive future growth.

A large part of this success stems from strong, long-term relationships with clients. Numerous high-end retailers have expressed appreciation for the company's consistent quality and reliability of produce.

As demand rises, Rising Farms continues to scale through a distressed asset model, ensuring efficient resource use and higher yields. It acquires and repurposes existing agricultural facilities rather than building from scratch. The first two facilities were taken over through long-term lease agreements, while the third was purchased outright. By combining diverse facility designs and technologies, the company ensures efficient, adaptable operations across locations and regions.

Rising Farms’ progress over the past five and a half years proves that innovation and determination can drive success even under the most challenging circumstances. More importantly, the company demonstrates that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.

World famous environmental activist Robert Swan once said, “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” Rising Farms is taking that message to heart—and taking action.
