about Vertiberry
Strawberry fruit & young plant producers using our own TCEA solutions
We at Vertiberry aim to be global strawberry fruit and plant producers for retail, distributors, growers and propagators. Using totally controlled environment agricultural (TCEA) methods we have developed, we produce high-quality, residue-free strawberry plants and fruit on demand, year-round, anywhere and regardless of the climate.
We also develop TCEA strawberry growing solutions, providing the next generation of growers with innovative techniques and expertise to support their farming practices and increase their yields.
our vision and mission
We grow premium strawberries and plants
Our aim is to improve biodiversity by reducing the need for arable land and drastically increasing the nutritional value we produce per square meter of land.
Using our own solutions, we produce berry fruit and plants for ourselves and our customers year-round, anywhere, anytime.
TCEA solution developed
We've been developing and using our own TCEA solutions since 2017 to successfully grow produce.
No impact of climate
Growing indoors in a totally controlled environment means that the climate and seasons have no impact on the quality of the plants and fruit produced in our systems.
Ideal conditions
The plants and berries in our systems receive the ideal temperature, nutrient supply, light spectrum and more to grow fast and strong.
residue-free
The plants and berries in our solutions are grown with no pesticides or herbicides, meaning no nasty residue.
High yield
Our solutions' production is more than 4x that of a modern greenhouse per m2 of growing surface.
Our roots
Rooted in Belgium with global ambitions
We have strong roots in Europe and have been researching, conceptualizing and developing our own systems at our HQ in Brussels, Belgium since 2017. In parallel, we are building a strawberry and young plant production facility in Quebec, Canada.
Our strawberries and young plants will be available to retailers and distributors in Quebec, the rest of Canada and on the East Coast of the US from Q1 2025.
Our TCEA growing solutions are available in both Europe and North America.
from herbs to berries
Growing herbs made us better strawberry growers
While today our commerical production focus is on strawberries, we started off producing potted herbs. These were sold at a variety of major Belgian and French retailers such as Delhaize, Aveve, Färm and Truffaut between 2018 and 2021.
Launching this commercial production enabled us to quickly gain insights on how to become better growers and solution developers - we learn by doing. It also led us to the conclusion that we wanted to have a higher impact on food production and food security, thus: strawberries.
Since 2022, our focus has been exclusively on researching and developing the best way to grow strawberries in a totally controlled environment to get the highest yields and tastiest fruit.
our production ethos
Why do we do what we do?
We strongly believe in the vertical integration of technology, know-how and production, from technology and genetics all the way to fruit production.
Our TCEA solutions not only enhance the quality of our strawberries but also support sustainable practices in agriculture, helping farmers achieve higher yields and lower pesticide use.
The market is still young and our mixed approach gives us a strong edge to become highly productive growers.
