Eden Green Technology announced plans to scale commercial production to meet rising market demand
An excerpt from the Vertical Farm Daily article:
Eden Green is pioneering a hybrid approach to controlled environment agriculture (CEA), combining vertical farming within a greenhouse to increase yield and improve efficiency. Leveraging patented hydroponic technology, the company uses 95% less electricity than indoor farms, and is able to price lettuce at up to $2 less per head compared to its greenhouse and vertical farm competitors.
Eden Green plans to build a network of 20 greenhouses across the United States over the next five years. This month, the company broke ground on two additional greenhouses in Cleburne, TX. Both facilities are expected to open in early 2025 and create 100 new jobs in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Together, the two greenhouses are expected to triple the company’s growing capacity and enable the further development of innovative technologies that improve efficiency, reduce impact and extend freshness. Once operational, Eden Green will be able to produce just under six million pounds of lettuce per year on its Cleburne campus.
