Ingredients for the Future
We understand our customers needs for sustainable and functional ingredients that are eco conscious.
Ferma Farms is revolutionizing the supply chain through fermentation.
Our innovative process creates exceptional, sustainable ingredients with an unbeatable impact.
At Ferma Farms we believe there is a real opportunity to target waste side streams in industrial processes and turn it back into sustainable ingredients. If we care to continue to provide valuable products to the growing population, we need to leverage technology to improve operational efficiency at the supply chain level.
Low Value Inputs
We seek out sidestreams and wastestreams from industrial processes that contain the base building blocks we require for our process to function. This allows us to source our inputs in a cost effective and sustainable mannor. Our primary intake is a starch derived from an agrifood process. We are always working with other inputs that prove valid in our system and continue to expand our input network.
Fermentation
By nature, fermentation is not new. Humans have been fermenting for thousands of years. At Ferma Farms we are applying a new lens to the technology and leveraging modern advancements to complete a multi-stage proprietary process.
Our process is an extremely efficient way to generate valuable ingredients. We use less land and water then traditional methods of production and have an incredibly low GHG footprint.
Customer Centric
At the end of the day we are consumers in this world also. We believe in supporting and buying products that respect the world around us while still maintaining quality, functionality and price. When we go forward creating our ingredients we do so with this vision in mind, to produce ingredients we ourselves would be proud to use.

Business & Investors
Business
Are you a manufacturer that produces sidestreams that are carbon-source positive? If you are interested in finding out if this sidestream can be turned into another value add good, please contact us.
If you are a CPG brand looking to source clean ingredients we would love to talk. Our first product will be a clean protein isolate.
investors
As we continue to embark on our startup journey we are always looking to connect with investors who see the value in disrupting existing value chains with new innovative products that meet the highest standards of sustainability. Please feel free to contact us as we are happy to discuss.
