Kentucky Fresh Harvest is a verified, operational hydroponic farm in Stanford, KY, producing 'Brilliant' brand tomatoes. Unlike the bankrupt AppHarvest, this project appears stable and has been organizing since 2015. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' reach, 'most people' traction) and nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'). The high score reflects the verified real-world utility of the business, significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the application.
