AppHarvest: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

In order to create a dependable, climate-resilient food supply, AppHarvest, a sustainable food firm in Appalachia, is creating and running some of the largest high-tech indoor farms in the world. The farms maintained by AppHarvest are made to grow produce with the help of sunlight, rainwater, and up to 90% less water than open-field farming while also generating up to 30 times more yields and preventing runoff pollution. Now, AppHarvest has a 60-acre tomato farm in Morehead, Kentucky, a 15-acre lettuce indoor farm in Berea, Kentucky, a 30-acre strawberry and cucumber farm in Somerset, Kentucky, and a 60-acre tomato farm in Richmond, Kentucky. 165 acres of the four farms' network are covered with glass.

About FundedIQ's AppHarvest Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for AppHarvest is left off this page rather than filled in.
