AppHarvest operates large-scale indoor farming facilities in Appalachia, using controlled environments and automation to produce fresh produce with a climate-resilient approach. The facilities rely on natural light and captured rainwater while using up to 90% less water than traditional field farming, and they aim for markedly higher yields and reduced agricultural runoff. The company is organized as a public benefit corporation and holds B Corp certification, and it is based in Morehead, Kentucky.

Its production network comprises four farms in Kentucky—Morehead, Berea, Somerset, and Richmond—covering 165 acres under glass, with crops including tomatoes, salad greens, strawberries, and cucumbers. The company positions itself as a provider of year-round produce through high-tech indoor farming, addressing supply reliability and environmental impacts of conventional farming. In 2023, AppHarvest announced the appointment of Tony Martin as chief executive to advance production and scale the network.
