Lovely

Quiet computing that grows food.

Lovely builds small, earth-sheltered AI data centers on Indiana farmland. Heat from the servers keeps a greenhouse next door growing through the winter, and the ground keeps the servers cool.

Cross-section of a Lovely site A data hall sits partly below ground under soil berms, with the greenhouse packing building on its roof. Warm water flows from the data hall to pipes under a greenhouse beside it. Geothermal loops run down into the ground below.
  • Data hall, below grade
  • Greenhouse at ground level
  • Warm water, 45 to 55°C
  • Ground loop, about 12°C

How it works

AI chips turn nearly all the electricity they use into heat. Most data centers blow that heat into the air with large fans. We send it to a farm instead.

  1. Servers make heat

    Liquid-cooled GPU racks carry heat away in a sealed water loop that never leaves the data hall.

  2. Water carries it

    A heat exchanger passes that heat to a second loop bound for the greenhouse. 45–55°C

  3. The greenhouse uses it

    Pipes under the benches and in the floor keep plants warm on January nights, so the farm grows year-round.

  4. The ground handles the rest

    In summer, extra heat goes into geothermal loops in the earth. The servers always come first. ~12°C ground

Built to be a good neighbor

People worry about data centers for good reasons: noise, water, power bills, and lost farmland. Each Lovely site is designed around those concerns.

Quiet

The data hall sits partly underground behind soil berms. Cooling runs through the ground and the greenhouse, so there are no rooftop fan banks.

Almost no water

Closed-loop liquid cooling and geothermal loops replace the evaporative cooling towers that make many data centers thirsty.

Easy on the grid

Batteries, local solar and wind, and workloads that can pause during peak hours mean the site eases demand when the grid is stressed.

Good for the farm

The farmer earns a land lease and runs a heated greenhouse that grows fresh produce through the winter, when Indiana fields are dormant.

One Lovely site

Sites are small and repeatable. A standard design is built from factory-made modules, so each new farm gets the same quiet building and the same heat connection.

Planning estimates for a first site. Final figures depend on the land, the utility, and the tenant.

Who we want to hear from

Farmers and landowners

Land near a substation or power line, an interest in winter growing, and a few acres to lease. You run the greenhouse; the heat comes free.

Utilities and co-ops

Where 1 to 3 MW can be served in Indiana, and how a flexible, battery-backed load could help your system.

Compute customers

AI companies, research groups, and Indiana businesses who need liquid-cooled GPU space close to home.

Research and energy partners

Universities, extension programs, and solar, wind, and storage developers interested in heat reuse and clean power on farms.
