The tour and tasting will include a program with Hundred Acre Owner and Founder Chris Corkery who will share his vision for this indoor farm, an intro to hydroponic farming and connection to community through the power of fresh food.

Attendees will also enjoy a chef prepared meal featuring greens grown on site. The menu will include a pesto-cream gnocchi entrée with an “endless summer salad” side. Meals will be prepared by FreshChef.
Highlights
Chris Corkery is a chef, urban farm, marketeer, and farsighted visionary. He is the Founder and CEO of Hundred Acre, Milwaukee’s largest indoor vertical hydroponic farm.
As a former NYC advertising jockey burnt out from the rat race of an ever-changing landscape, he turned his sights to food as a medium for change.
“There is something both refreshing and inspiring when you look at your basket of ingredients with all the raw potential they possess. From the experience of bringing them together to the impact this can have on those you serve, we find our everyday bond. After all…we all have to eat.” -Corkery.
Transplanting from New York City to the Midwest, Chris aims to bridge the gap between our ailing food system and innovation through a network of local growing spaces.
