Hippo Harvest

Hippo Harvest is a controlled-environment agriculture company based in Pescadero, California, founded in 2019, that grows USDA-certified-organic leafy greens in modular greenhouses run by custom autonomous mobile robots and machine learning. Its closed-loop, direct-to-root watering and nutrient system is published by the company as using 92% less water, 55% less fertilizer and 94% less land than conventional field agriculture, while pricing to compete with field-grown product. Hippo Harvest sells packaged salad greens (spring mix, spinach, 50/50 blend, butter lettuce) into grocery retail rather than selling software: the robotics, computer vision and growing-control stack is internal operating infrastructure, not a product. It raised a $21M Series B led by Standard Investments in February 2024 and a $30M Series C led by Cox Farms in July 2026, and is permitting a 30-acre facility in Hollister, California. No public API, developer portal, SDK or machine-readable contract of any kind was found on any host the company controls.

Hippo Harvest is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agriculture, Controlled Environment Agriculture, Robotics, and Food and Beverage.

Hippo Harvest’s developer surface includes support and 6 more developer resources.

  detail: Hippo Harvest sells packaged organic salad greens grown in its own robotic greenhouses; its only web property is
    a Squarespace marketing site whose sitemap lists thirteen consumer pages (products, where-to-buy, a butter-lettuce sample
    request) and no developer surface at all, and every OpenAPI, GraphQL, MCP and /.well-known/ path on that host returns
    the site's 404.
