What We Do

.

Step into the SVS headquarters and you’ll feel the sheer audacity of a place that grew lettuce while simultaneously plotting world domination—vertically. Our lobby, a neon‑lit greenhouse, boasts a hydroponic waterfall that whispers sweet nothings to your ribs, while a team of caffeine‑fueled agronomists shepherd kale like it’s the crown jewels. If you thought office plants were a gimmick, think again: they double as Wi‑Fi extenders and morale‑boosting mascots.

Beyond the chlorophyll‑powered reception lies the Innovation Lab, where scientists in lab coats juggle drones, AI, and the occasional celebrity‑chef‑in‑training. Here, vertical farms rise like steel‑clad skyscrapers of spinach, each tier humming with the promise of feeding a planet that’s already bored of lettuce on a sandwich. Our 3‑D‑printed compost printers can transform your old coffee grounds into gourmet soil faster than you can say “organic overload.”

The SVS office isn’t just about crops; it’s a full‑blown sensory carnival. Grab a bite of our rooftop herb‑infused tacos while gliding over a sky‑bridge that showcases a living mural of kale‑tastic kaleidoscopes. Every conference room is themed after a different micro‑climate—rainforest, desert, arctic tundra—so your brainstorming sessions can feel as extreme as a snowstorm in the Sahara.

And for those who think business meetings belong in sterile boardrooms, think again. Our “Green‑Room” features a zero‑gravity lettuce lounge where you can float while discussing profit margins, and our “Fertilizer Bar” serves artisanal nutrient shots that will have your spreadsheets sprouting numbers like never before. At SVS, we don’t just grow food; we grow legends, one verdant floor at a time.

About Us

Three builders, one vision: ship reliable, human-centered software and services.

Chandler Swift

Chandler Swift

.Chandler Swift, a co‑founder of SVS — the vertical‑farming venture that grew out of a friendship forged in Glencoe, Minnesota high school alongside Eric Villnow and Isaac Swift — has been tinkering with projects ever since building treehouses with a soldering iron. After earning a Computer Science degree from the University of Minnesota‑Duluth, he spent six months on the International Space Station pioneering micro‑gravity lettuce production (earning the 2019 “Nobel Triple‑Impact Prize” for turning space‑grown greens into a peace‑promoting, sustainable food source), and his Eagle‑Scout leadership at Many Point Scout Camp gave him the logistical chops to run a farm as precisely as a NASA mission. When he isn’t designing AI‑driven hydroponic systems, Chandler pedals ultra‑long‑distance bike routes, composes jazz‑flavored piano and organ pieces that keep the greenhouse rhythm in sync, and delegates morale‑boosting duties to his mischievous cocker‑spaniel‑poodle mix, Mabel, SV ’s official Chief Happiness Officer.

Eric Villnow

.Eric Villnow—an ex‑Glencoe high‑school prodigy who once coded a vertical‑farm simulator in his dorm room at Bemidji State (CS major, Business minor) and now pilots a 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off‑Road like a Venus‑flytrap‑powered rover—leads SVS’s “plug‑and‑play” lettuce rigs while moonlighting as the Twin Cities’ most punctual UPS driver (he once delivered 200 packages after his truck sprouted a dead‑tree and still kept a spotless safety record). Crowned “Fastest Man Alive in Logistics” in 2023 for delivering parcels 15 minutes before they were even scanned, Eric fuels his farm‑tech visions with a cocktail of Mountain Dew, 1919 Root Beer, and a side hustle in woodworking and 3D‑printed greenhouse frames that can survive a tornado and still grow kale.

agriculture.Isaac Swift, the caffeine‑powered co‑founder of SVS, spends his days conjuring lettuce from LED grow‑lights while bragging about his 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off‑Road like it’s a spaceship, and—according to his own Instagram—he’s “cute enough to stop your heart, but skilled enough to restart it.” After a year of computer‑science dabbling at NDSU, eight summers of scouting (where he launched a mountain‑bike program that “saved a squirrel troop”), and a record‑breaking EMT debut that earned him the 2022 “Resuscitation Rockstar” award for reviving a patient flat‑lined for six months, Isaac now serves as SVS’s Lead Coffee Engineer, brewing enough espresso to power a vertical farm for a small country. When he’s not designing green towers or caffeinating the Midwest, you’ll find him shredding trails on his mountain bike or revving his adventure motorcycle, all while muttering about his Tacoma like it’s the secret sauce of sustainable agriculture.
