The new facility spans 140,000 sq. ft., including 100,000 sq. ft. of production, with six vertical layers of growing capacity and 40,000 sq. ft. for processing and packing.

The farm has the capacity to produce up to 11 million plants or 500,000 lbs. of plants annually.

The company unveils its facility that is projected to create 500 new job opportunities and increasing its overall capacity.

For our coverage of Fabulous Food Plants this year, we decided to do something a little bit different in honor of “plants,” aka flora. When we think of food plants, we almost immediately think of processing facilities, but there’s so much more to food production than the processing plant. So, seeing how plant-based foods are altering the ways consumers think about protein, we decided to alter the way we think about food plants.

The smart vertical farm will support local and major grocery chains.
