BROOKLYN, NY - From new product lines to new locations, Gotham Greens is making a splash as it celebrates both its 13^th anniversary and its 13^th greenhouse.

“We've seen continued momentum in our business because we've always been focused, first and foremost, on farming high-quality produce,” the company said in a statement. “From the beginning, we've leveraged the expertise of our Chicago-based Chief Greenhouse Officer Jenn Frymark and her team of expert growers across the country to make sure that we're focused on growing the highest quality, safe, and delicious produce for our retail and foodservice customers in the most sustainable and responsible ways possible.”

With recent greenhouse openings in Colorado, Georgia, and Texas, as well as completed expansions at facilities in Providence, RI, and Chicago, IL, Gotham Greens now spans over 40 acres (1.8 million square feet) across 13 greenhouses in nine states. It’s annual production capacity, the company stated, has now reached approximately 100 million heads of lettuce per year with products available in 6,500-plus retail stores across 50 states.

Additionally, the company is still coming off the exciting launch of a new line of salad kits late last year and a well-rounded greens portfolio. It is a marked achievement for just over a decade of operation.

“To celebrate 13 years since we opened our first greenhouse in Brooklyn, NY, we’re offering a special sweepstakes for a limited time! One ‘Green Prize’ Winner will receive a weekend getaway to our original hometown: NYC. We are partnering with 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge to curate our ideal Brooklyn weekend, including a behind-the-scenes tour of Gotham Greens. Additionally, 12 ‘Sprout Prize’ Winners will receive a year’s supply of Gotham Greens,” the company said.

With all this in just 13 years, it will certainly be exciting to see what the company has in store for the future. AndNowUKnow will continue to report.
