FOUNDER

Chris Corkery is a chef, urban farmer, and the Founder and Executive Chairman of Hundred Acre.

After a successful run in the NYC advertising scene, Chris quit the rat race and turned his sights to food, pursuing a culinary degree and then working as a chef in several renowned restaurants in New York.

It was as he was sourcing fresh ingredients at the early morning markets, he began imagining a better, more sustainable and localized food system. In 2021, he secured a space in the heart of Milwaukee to launch a revolutionary and sustainable approach to growing food. Chris has since grown Hundred Acre into Wisconsin’s largest indoor vertical hydroponic farm.
