Vertical farms let us fine‑tune light, climate, and nutrients to produce exceptional berries, then immediately flash-freeze them to preserve peak flavor, nutrition, and quality.
Vertical farming brings precision to growing: consistent temperature, optimal airflow, and carefully calibrated lighting. Our farmers apply time‑honored cultivation practices, then immediately flash-freeze berries at peak ripeness to lock in flavor and nutrients.
By growing indoors and flash-freezing immediately, we preserve quality, extend shelf life, and deliver frozen strawberries with exceptional taste and nutritional value year-round.
In 2024, we launched our largest, smartest farm and freezing facility yet.
Spanning more than 237,500 square feet in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Amatelas includes state-of-the-art flash-freezing equipment powered by adjacent solar fields, allowing us to freeze berries within hours of harvest.
Our facility features advanced growing levels, precision robotics, and industrial flash-freezing systems that preserve berry quality at -18°C. It's not just the future of agriculture; it's the future of premium frozen fruit.
Our scientists employ groundbreaking propagation practices to ensure our plants produce the highest quality berries for freezing. At our in‑house propagation lab, we multiply plant material optimized for flash-freezing, growing seedlings that produce berries with ideal cellular structure for frozen preservation.
Robots analyze data and harvest berries at optimal ripeness for freezing. Our flash-freezing systems activate within minutes of harvest, using liquid nitrogen to preserve cellular structure and lock in nutrients that fresh berries lose during transport.
