The district court in The Hague declared Infinite Acres Holding B.V. and Infinite Acres B.V. bankrupt on September 8, 2026, and published the ruling the following day. The Dutch technology subsidiary of vertical farming company 80 Acres Farms operated from Laan van Waalhaven 267 in The Hague.
The filing
The two entities were filed as separate cases. Infinite Acres Holding B.V. carries case number F.09/26/313 and is registered under financial institutions, excluding insurance and pension funds. Infinite Acres B.V. carries case number F.09/26/312 and is registered under IT service activities. Mr S. El Hadouchi has been appointed curator in both cases, with Mr. A.J. Nederhoed as supervising judge. No curator’s report had been published as of this writing, so details on debts, creditors, and staff numbers are not yet available.
Infinite Acres sat beneath 80 Acres Netherlands B.V. in the corporate structure, with Infinite Acres Holding B.V. above the operating entity, Infinite Acres B.V.
80 Acres collapse
The bankruptcy follows the collapse of its US parent. 80 Acres Farms, based in Hamilton, Ohio, announced on August 3, 2026, that it was winding down operations after failing to secure the capital needed to continue.
Founded in 2015 by Mike Zelkind and Tisha Livingston, the company raised roughly $350 million over eleven years and supplied more than 18,000 US retail locations, including Kroger, Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, Dorothy Lane Market, and Jungle Jim’s, as well as foodservice distributors Sysco and US Foods. 80 Acres also acquired three vertical farms out of Kalera’s bankruptcy and merged with Soli Organic in August 2025 to expand its retail footprint.
From joint venture to Dutch subsidiary
Infinite Acres was founded in 2019 as a joint venture between 80 Acres Farms, Dutch horticultural technology company Priva, and British technology company Ocado, before 80 Acres Farms fully acquired the business in 2021.
In 2023, Infinite Acres signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Siemens Netherlands to build a Field Lab and Experience Center at its Dutch headquarters, which opened in June 2024 with additional partners Signify, SICK, and TTA. The company was also a member of Wageningen University’s Club of 100.
A pivot announced days before the filing
Speaking at the JPFA International Symposium on Plant Factory in Japan on September 1, one week before the Dutch bankruptcy filing, Tisha, CEO of Infinite Acres and former President of 80 Acres Farms, addressed 80 Acres’ collapse.
“We really had a short runway after the acquisitions of Kalera and Soli Organic. Impatient capital and an accumulating debt burden created a fatal combination for a company operating in a still-developing industry,” says Tisha. At that same appearance, Tisha described Infinite Acres as moving toward what she called a “Vertical Farming 2.0” approach, built around genetics, new farm designs, and tailored software.
No statement from Infinite Acres or 80 Acres Farms addressing the Dutch bankruptcy filing directly has been published.
