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.
