"Consumers are increasingly choosing our fresher, more flavorful greens over field grown greens," said Paul Sellew, founder and CEO of Little Leaf Farms. "This new campus is a testament to our belief in and commitment to the promising future of indoor-grown leafy greens. Strong consumer demand allows us to invest confidently, and we're grateful to our partners in Tennessee for supporting this next chapter."
"Agriculture is the backbone of Tennessee's economy, supporting tens of thousands of jobs and driving growth in our rural communities," said Gov. Bill Lee. "We're proud to welcome Little Leaf Farms to our state and grateful for their investment in Tennessee. The company's commitment to innovation and job creation will strengthen our agricultural sector and expand opportunities for hardworking Tennesseans."
This expansion caps an exciting first decade for Little Leaf Farms. From its existing campuses in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, the company has grown to supply over 7,000 grocery stores which serve over half the country's population.
"When we launched Little Leaf Farms ten years ago, our mission was clear: transforming our food system by growing better food in a better way," said Sellew. "That mission remains our north star. Expanding into Tennessee marks a powerful step forward in delivering fresher, better tasting leafy greens to more consumers across the country."
