Morehead-based AppHarvest claims to operate some of the world’s largest high-tech, indoor farms. The company promotes itself as a grower of affordable, healthy fruits and vegetables.
Since the company began operations in Eastern Kentucky in 2020, AppHarvest has been growing at a fast clip, with facilities in Morehead, Richmond, Berea, and Somerset. However, the company has been struggling financially, and last week filed for what is known as chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
