The first winter storm of the year couldn't keep people from packing into Bozzuto's Independent Retailer Conference, held Feb. 28-March 1 in Uncasville, CT.

BrightFarms is expanding with four new regional greenhouse hubs offering sustainably grown leafy greens to more people across the eastern and central U.S. The new locations will begin shipping to retailers in 2024 to help fulfill increasing demand. This expansion and commitment to innovation is expected to set BrightFarms up for tenfold revenue growth.
