Wilder Fields is a technology-enabled food company producing extraordinarily flavorful, fresh, safe, and sustainably grown food for our local community.
Meet the greens
Grown at Chicago's door, by yours truly, using 95% less water and waste than traditional methods.
From form to taste to how they’re described, our produce is a signal to you that your greens should, and can, be thoroughly exciting. Every single product we create is a small act of rebellion.
At Wilder Fields we, believe in outright sustainability
We’re supporting local communities by vertically growing greens in repurposed buildings—reducing CO2 emissions, conserving water, and shortening the distance between harvest and enjoyment.
We never use pesticides or fungicides, providing you and your family the safest, cleanest greens.
Our greens are grown hydroponically, making it convenient for you to eat right away—there’s no need to wash them before you enjoy them.
Traditional agriculture
Wilder Fields
We know you care deeply about the environment. We’re not just talking the talk, we’re walking the walk—growing your greens in neighborhoods near you without pesticides or fertilizers; using 95% less water than traditional methods—reducing our fuel consumption, CO 2 emissions, and waste.
All of our operations are indoors, giving 1,000s of acres of land back to nature. We’re talking an entire football field’s worth of produce grown in the size of an average living room.
Local isn’t a buzzword to us. Your greens are harvested by your neighbors, right next door, for maximum freshness and tastiness.

We utilize machine learning, advanced environmental sensing, and image analysis to tailor and maintain optimum growing environments for individual crops through real-time environmental control.
We’re the first company in the nation to transform a big box store (think: a vacant Target outside Chicago) and turn it into a thriving vertical farm. That took a team of dreamers & doers — made up of the brightest minds in technology, operations, sales, and marketing. Together, we’re building a first-of-its-kind farming model that will reimagine how our communities nourish themselves.
Tote bags, dad hats, pennants and more. Fresh new limited-edition merch drops are now live on our Shopify store. Tell your friends!
We are turning this abandoned big box store into a thriving Wilder farm
It’s official: the doors to our new Calumet City (just outside of Chicago) farm open this fall! We couldn’t be more excited to grow in such a sweet spot.
We were born and raised in an inspiring and community-centric incubator in Chicago for the past 4 years at the iconic food hub known as The Plant. The Plant has raised other rising food stars such as: Rumi Spice, Whiner Beer Company, Arize Kombucha, and many more. We will always be proud of our beginnings - and of our entire community at The Plant.
