Eden Green Grows Its ‘Hyperlocal, Hyperfresh’ Vertical Farm With Acres of New Greenhouses in North Texas
An excerpt from Dallas Innovates
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.
Symbolizing a ‘paradigm shift’—and nearing a Series B funding round
“The fact is that land, water, and energy aren’t being used efficiently to produce and distribute our food, and if we want to be responsible shepherds for future generations, we need to embrace solutions that maximize productive yield and profitability using our limited resources,” Badrina said when Eden Green Technology broke ground on the greenhouse. “This facility symbolizes a paradigm shift for how capital investment is being leveraged to do the most good where it’s needed.”
