Newark, NJ, Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AeroFarms®, a Certified B Corporation and the pioneer in vertical farming, is announced as a four-time finalist and the winner of the Best Brand Marketing category at yesterday’s 2022 Vertical Farming Awards. Winning with consumers and industry, AeroFarms is the number one retail brand for both unit and dollar sales in the United States for microgreens according to Nielsen syndicated data.*     

Best Brand Marketing, AeroFarms FlavorSpectrum™ - Winner 

In order to differentiate AeroFarms’ unique ability to grow the most delicious greens possible from other products in the packaged salad set, AeroFarms created the innovative, bold FlavorSpectrum™ concept and packaging design. The eye-catching FlavorSpectrum™ design represents the breadth of flavors and varieties grown inside their indoor vertical farms. The team pairs each color with a specific tasting note to bring the FlavorSpectrum™ philosophy to life. Across the leafy greens packaging line, consumers will find that the cool blue colors represent the sweet and mellow notes, while the intense reds represent bold and zesty flavors. For example, AeroFarms Baby Bok Choy falls in the purple portion of the FlavorSpectrum™, representing a mellow, clean flavor profile with slighty sweet notes while AeroFarms Micro Wasabi Mustard  is represented with an intense red package to reflect the heat of the green.  

Best Retail Innovation, AeroFarms Micro Rainbow Mix - Finalist 

AeroFarms Micro Rainbow Mix is a vibrant and balanced medley of earthy cabbage, sweet kale and spicy mustard greens that adds a colorful boost to any dish. These microgreens have unique, yet complementary flavors and textures that are quite different from other packaged salad offerings. Microgreens can contain roughly 5X higher levels of vitamins and carotenoids than their mature plant counterparts (USDA). Micro Rainbow Mix has important health benefits, as it contains micro red cabbage with up to 6X more Vitamin C and up to 260X more Beta Carotene than mature red cabbage. 

Best Crop Innovation, Blueberries - Finalist 

The AeroFarms and Hortifrut collaboration represents a partnership between two Certified B Corporations to grow the first-ever blueberry in an indoor vertical farm. AeroFarms is using its proprietary growing platform to address a wide array of supply chain challenges, working on berries as well as hops and even cacao for high value nurseries. 

Best Retail Innovation, AeroFarms Baby Bok Choy - Finalist 

AeroFarms Baby Bok Choy is The New Spinach™. AeroFarms is reimagining a better spinach experience that is juicier, more flavorful, and even more nutrient dense with an Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score of 865 vs. spinach's 707. AeroFarms has optimized the growing process of this plant for peak nutrients: it has more Vitamin C than spinach, as well as Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, and Calcium.
