## About

Based in Quebec, Canada, and founded in 2018 by Yves Daoust, Winter Farm Inc. (Ferme d'Hiver) is an ag-tech firm that focuses on vertical agriculture and uses AI to grow off-season, high-nutrition products in a controlled environment without pesticides. As of 2022, Alain Brisebois is the CEO of the company. In December 2022, Winter Farm raised CAD 46 million in venture funding from the Quebec Government Office and Investissement Québec, including Capital Financière Agricole, Desjardins Capital, Farm Credit Canada, and other investors. The company offers the Ferme d'Hiver solution for integrating vertical farming into the existing agricultural environment for the production of Fraise d'Hiver strawberries. Using engineering technologies, the firm reproduces sunlight, rain, and wind. Winter Farm maximises available growing areas and increases production capacity for growers by focusing on vertical farming. The organization plans to use the December 2022 funding to develop a vertical farm dedicated to strawberry production.
