Dubbed the Amatelas Farm (for the Japanese Goddess of the Sun), the Phillipsburg, New Jersey-located facility runs on renewable energy and “represents a new, more efficient paradigm for indoor agriculture,” according to the company. The farm will now serve as the main production hub for Oishii’s Koyo strawberries, which are based on a berry specific to the Koyo region of Japan.
