Edible Garden AG has announced Edible Garden Prairie Hills, a 6.2-acre facility in Webster City, Iowa. Secured through the Company's previously announced purchase of select assets from NaturalShrimp Farms Inc., the facility will play a key role in supporting Edible Garden's expansion across multiple business lines, including increased production, research and development, and enhanced distribution capabilities.
The expansive facility features advanced aquaculture infrastructure, fully equipped laboratories, and climate-controlled growing environments. Edible Garden plans to leverage these assets to expand herb production, accelerate clean-label nutraceutical development, and conduct aquaculture R&D utilizing patented water treatment technologies included in the acquisition. The facility will also serve as a strategic warehousing and distribution hub to enhance fulfillment efficiency throughout the Midwest. These innovations are expected to strengthen agricultural sustainability and operational efficiency, complementing Edible Garden's ongoing collaborations with organizations such as the EPA, FDA, NJIT, and the Brisea Group.
"The launch of Edible Garden-Prairie Hills marks a pivotal step in our mission to reshape sustainable food production," said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. "This expansion strengthens our vertically integrated model and provides a high-tech platform to expand our herb and nutraceutical lines, pilot next-generation aquaculture technologies, and reinforce our commitment to Zero-Waste Inspired® farming. Importantly, it positions us to better serve our network of over 5,000 retail locations across the U.S. with greater efficiency, while driving forward innovation in a cost-effective, environmentally responsible manner."
