Edible Garden AG Incorporated is a pioneer in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), offering locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products supported by Zero-Waste Inspired® farming. With a presence in over 5,000 stores in the US, Caribbean, and South America, Edible Garden is revolutionizing the CEA and sustainability technology landscape through its innovative farming protocols, eco-friendly packaging, patented GreenThumb software, and Self-Watering in-store displays. The company operates cutting-edge vertically integrated greenhouses and processing facilities in Belvidere, New Jersey, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, along with a network of contract growers strategically positioned near major markets in the U.S. Edible Garden’s proprietary GreenThumb 2.0 software optimizes growing in both vertical and traditional greenhouses, aiming to reduce pollution from food transportation.
