Customer Success Story: Buckeye Fresh

Supporting Consistent Airflow in a Controlled Vertical Growing Environment

Buckeye Fresh is an indoor vertical farm based in Medina, Ohio, dedicated to producing fresh, locally grown leafy greens year-round. Operating in a controlled growing environment, Buckeye Fresh relies on precision airflow systems to maintain stable conditions across every stage of plant growth.

In vertical farming, airflow plays a critical role in maintaining balanced conditions around crops, supporting plant health, and protecting long term operational efficiency.

The Challenge: Maintaining Reliable Air Circulation at the Crop Level

Unlike traditional agricultural environments, Buckeye Fresh’s vertical growing system requires consistent, localized air circulation throughout densely stacked grow zones. Each level requires stable airflow to support uniform growing conditions without disrupting equipment, walkways, or daily operations.

The Buckeye Fresh team needed an airflow solution that could deliver dependable performance in a high use, high precision environment while remaining easy to maintain over time.
