We built an Innovation Campus just west of Casselton, North Dakota. The campus was designed in a way where growers, industry professionals, and researchers will collaborate to deliver innovative solutions and to demonstrate and research the latest in agriculture technology.
The Innovation Shop was the first building constructed and opened on June 10, 2024.
The Innovation Shop and the Innovation Campus will not only create a hub of innovative activity in the agriculture and technology industries leading to high-paying, high-skilled jobs, they will also serve as an attractor of venture capital for early-stage companies and long-term investment by enterprise and research organizations. This activity and investment will flow into our community and ultimately create a deep, positive impact on our region.
Grand Farm’s Innovation Campus is 140 acres and is designed for growers, startups, corporations, researchers, and education groups to collaborate on technology. The campus is designed to demonstrate and research new products and technologies.
The Innovation Campus is located near Casselton at: 3729 153rd Ave SE, Wheatland, ND 58079
The first building constructed is the Innovation Shop on the north end of the campus.
The facility includes a collaborative space with board rooms and offices for meetings, school groups, and presentations. The design is intentional to allow natural light in, with large windows to view the field.
The campus’ shop space is designed for our partners, growers, and researchers to collaborate and work on equipment and products.
The event space accommodates up to 300 people with large garage doors to allow equipment demonstrations. The outdoor amphitheatre is also designed to allow interactive demonstrations.
At Grand Farm, we’re passionate about fostering a supportive community that encourages collaboration, creativity, and innovation. We understand startups need more than just a plot of land to succeed, which is why we provide guidance and support throughout the growing season on our Innovation Campus.
