Milwaukee Clock Tower Hydroponic Farm Targets Food Pantry Supply
An indoor farm project at Rockwell Automation headquarters in Milwaukee aims to provide leafy greens to a regional food bank network.
VerticalFarmDaily summarized local reporting on October 23, 2026 about Clock Tower Farms, an indoor hydroponic project at the historic Allen-Bradley building in Milwaukee. The initiative involves Rockwell Automation, Fork Farms and Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin.
The partners described a goal of approximately 200,000 pounds of lettuce per year for food assistance organizations across eastern Wisconsin. The report said the project was expected to reach full capacity by the end of 2026; this is a planned operating rate, not a verified harvest total achieved at the publication date.
The case connects indoor growing technology with local food distribution and industrial automation. It also highlights why project stories should separate announced capacity from measured production, and why supporting organizations and distribution networks matter as much as the growing installation itself.
