Plenty’s Vertical Farm now hiring in Compton
COMPTON – Plenty Farms has announced they have partnered with the Compton Careerlink to staff over 50 new full-time jobs in their vertical farm. Plenty Unlimited Inc. is committed to hiring local which is a goal of the city’s leadership to get more Compton residents working.
“We are happy to see the Plenty farm start to grow its roots in the community during the build out process,” said Mayor Aja Brown. “Many residents rely on CareerLink to guide them in the right direction, so I know Plenty will find wonderful, qualified candidates right here in our City. The vegetables Plenty produces will be proudly grown and managed by Compton residents, and we look forward to creating a solid partnership with them.”
Plenty’s sustainable farm delivers produce year-round that tastes like it was picked fresh from the garden. The company’s plant scientists, engineers and farmers have developed its indoor vertical farming technology to grow nutrient-rich plants with extraordinary flavor. Plenty farms deliver produce with zero pesticides and no GMOs, and are designed to use less than one percent the space of conventional agriculture while saving over a million gallons of water each week.
“With Compton’s rich agricultural history and ongoing appreciation for farming, we knew Plenty’s farm would fit right into the community,” said Plenty’s co-founder, Dr. Nate Storey. “We are committed to hiring locally and look forward to establishing a robust operation that will produce delicious, pesticide-free leafy greens for Compton and the entire Los Angeles area.”
Compton has the largest urban agricultural zone in Los Angeles County, Richland Farms which is home to hundreds of farm animals where homeowners are free to own livestock based on the size of their land.
Plenty has several open leadership positions in Compton including Senior Manager of Operations, Automation Controls Engineer, Senior Grower, Maintenance Supervisor, and Sales Manager.
To learn more about the positions, contact CareerLink (310.605.3050/cfields@comptoncity.org) from 7am to 6pm

I live in Compton with plenty crop production experience along with a bachelor’s degree in Horticulture and Agriculture Business. I applied, they told me my background is impressive but it ain’t a match for their hiring needs… ( Horticulture and Agriculture Business), right in Compton California, Alondra and Wilmington.

Compton residents welcome this business to the area. I hope the city invest in this area aswell. For example, Mona Blvd has a lot of potholes. I hope we see more investment in Compton.
I agree

Lol Compton
What is the ‘lol’ for? Nothing is funny, especially Compton.
This is wonderful. You are welcome to use the common sense that God gave and laugh to yourself out loud. We can’t hear you and you typing it is of adolescent behavior.
We look forward to Plenty Vertical Farm into the neighborhood. Compton is changing with hard working Millennials looking to get there piece of the pie; THE AMERICAN DREAM. I look forward to seeing this company enhance the lives of others and the community.
Great, they can hire the scum that race down the streets, smoke pot, and loiter in front of businesses.
You’re A terrible person
Tell your kids not to be doing that then
Tipical reaction from someone in law enforcement. Your coulture can even grasp any body else trying to do something positive for a marginated community. You narrow mind set will only allow you to see the negative. Then you call your selves Christians.
Just loving and living life
There’s “scum” in all cities! Not just Compton! If you don’t believe me, turn on the evening news or read a newspaper once in awhile!
