Edible Garden is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") farming company. We use traditional agricultural growing techniques together with technology to grow fresh, organic food sustainably and safely while improving traceability. We operate glass, hydroponic, and vertical greenhouse structures that enable us to grow organic herbs consistently year-round while using less land, less energy, and less water than conventional agriculture. In our hydroponic greenhouse, we grow plants without soil. Instead of planting one row of plants in the ground, by using a vertical growing system, we can grow many towers of plants in the same area by planting up instead of planting across. Growing these products sustainably means that we avoid depleting natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance, such as by renewing, reusing and recycling materials in order to lower the overall one-time use of materials. Our facilities utilize "closed loop" irrigation systems that recollect and reuse drain water—including water recycled through reverse osmosis—reducing overall water consumption and helping conserve natural resources. Our advanced systems are also designed to help mitigate contamination from harmful pathogens, including salmonella, e-coli and others.
Our operations are supported by GreenThumb , our proprietary patented greenhouse management and demand-planning software (U.S. Patent Nos. 11,158,006 B1; 11,410,249 B2; and 11,830,088 B2). GreenThumb tracks plants through all stages of production and distribution, supporting quality control, traceability, fill-rate management, and logistics optimization, including maximizing truckload efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We believe GreenThumb is a meaningful competitive differentiator and an important component of our Zero-Waste Inspired model.
As of December 31, 2025, we offer more than 140 stock keeping units ("SKUs") spanning two principal product segments: (i) fresh produce, including cut herbs, hydroponic basil, potted herbs, and wheatgrass; and (ii) shelf-stable and refrigerated consumer packaged goods, including sports nutrition and nutraceuticals (Kick. and Vitamin Whey /Vitamin Way ), fermented gourmet sauces and chili-based products (Pulp ), and functional fermented pickles and sauerkraut (Pickle Party ). We also supply products under private label arrangements to major retail customers. We have leveraged our brand recognition to offer co-manufactured consumer-packaged goods across protein, fermented foods, and flavoring categories in addition to our core fresh produce business. Our tagline "Simply Local, Simply Fresh" reflects our strategy of growing products in regional communities close to the retail locations where they are sold, extending shelf life and supporting local brand awareness.
Our products are available in over 5,000 retail locations across the United States, the Caribbean, and South America. We operate vertically integrated greenhouses and processing facilities at Edible Garden Heartland in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Edible Garden Prairie Hills in Webster City, Iowa; and our headquarters at Edible Garden Belvidere in Belvidere, New Jersey. We also partner with a network of contract growers strategically located near major U.S. population centers.
