BrightFarms’ smart greenhouse model, enabled by its proprietary tech and demonstrated with the new Carolina Greenhouse. The new greenhouse is centrally located, for quicker delivery to retailers across the Southeast, including North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

Steve Platt, CEO, BrightFarms, said: “With 10 years of innovation and growing under our belts, we are ready and able to bring our proven indoor growing model and fresh greens to millions of new consumers in the Carolinas and beyond. We are committed to being the leading supplier of local salads in the Southeast and look forward to partnering with retailers to make fresh, clean and safe produce a reality.”

BrightFarms’ Carolina Greenhouse will bring sustainable economic vitality to the region. The Southeast, which currently has limited options for indoor-grown greens on shelves, will now be a part of the growing excitement around the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry, which has seen over $1B in capital raised in the past six months alone.
