IRVINGTON, NY - Attendees of this year’s Viva Fresh Expo are getting a closer look at BrightFarms’ newest greenhouse operation, located in Lorena, Texas. As the greenhouse prepares to commence operations in fall 2024, the provider will be showcasing the cutting-edge facility alongside its acclaimed Crunch Kit™ salads.

"We are thrilled to celebrate our expansion into Texas at Viva Fresh,” said Abby Prior, Chief Commercial Officer at BrightFarms. “With the opening of our new greenhouse in Lorena later this year, we will bring a leading brand with proven growth-driving strength to the market."

Industry members at Viva Fresh can anticipate learning more about the advanced climate and temperature control technology being integrated into the greenhouse to deliver top quality and freshness, a press release detailed.

With the support of Cox Farms, BrightFarms is poised to accelerate and expand its operational capacity in the United States market, the release explained.
