About Foothills Farm
Our Vision
Tradition Meets Technology
Tradition Meets Technology
Founded by Nikki and Max Poritzky who have spent decades in the natural health products industry, Foothills Farm was conceived as a means to leverage our experience and passion for health and
sustainability for the betterment of our community.
We spent 4 years researching the most ecologically sustainable vertical container farm technology that can run on solar power and yield consistent crops with ZERO need for pesticides or clearcutting. With this type of farming we can produce nearly 1000 heads of lettuce per week in only 320 sq feet.
We are dedicated to contributing to the wellbeing of our community's economy, ecology, and wellness. We are alway seeking partnerships with local businesses, governments, and educational institutions to further these goals. Got an idea of how we can work together?
