Eden Green, a North Texas-based next-generation indoor vertical farming company, said the expansion in Cleburne is aimed at scaling commercial production to meet rising market demand and address "a perfect storm in our food supply chain."
Leafy greens is a multibillion-dollar industry. But before lettuce can get into salads across the U.S., it has to navigate coast-to-coast supply chain and distribution issues, says Eden Green Technology CEO Eddy Badrina, whose Cleburne-based ag-tech startup opened a new, two-acre vertical greenhouse in September as part of a planned $47 million vertical farm. Those issues have led to what Badrina calls "the 3,000-mile salad."
Eden Green Technology's newest vertical greenhouses in Cleburne will be able to grow 1.8 million pounds of produce annually in just 62,500 square feet of growing space, the company says. The facilities use Eden Green's proprietary microclimate environments, lighting solutions, and hydroponic vine systems.
A second phase of the ag-tech startup's planned $47 million expansion is now under construction. That's expected to triple total production to more than 5 million pounds of produce annually.
The company showed off its state-of-the-art, 44,000-square-foot facility in Cleburne where there’s row after row of 18-foot stalks, each with 36 plants growing from floor to ceiling.
