The most recent WARN notice submitted by AeroFarms identified a potential closure window for its Ringgold, Virginia, facility between April 17 and April 30, 2026. As of May 1, no further update has appeared on the Virginia Works WARN portal confirming either a facility closure or a revised timeline.
In its March 27 filing, the company stated that it expected to complete a proposed transaction with a potential buyer in April 2026 and that its lender had agreed to provide additional short-term funding to continue core operations while the diligence and sale process advanced. The notice indicated that the facility could shut down if the transaction did not close within that timeframe.
