Advanced Greenhouse Designs

BrightFarms' new advanced greenhouse in Lorena, Texas, marks a significant expansion in the company’s efforts to bring fresh, locally grown produce to a broader audience. The 1.5 million-square-foot facility incorporates advanced cooling technology to maintain optimal growing conditions and ensure year-round production of leafy greens despite the region's challenging climate. By leveraging these innovations, the company strengthens its commitment to sustainable and efficient agricultural practices. It promises fresher produce with reduced environmental impact due to minimized transportation and resource use compared to traditional farming.

The advanced greenhouse development highlights BrightFarms’ strategy to position itself as a leader in the indoor farming industry, with the capability to serve two-thirds of the U.S. population upon completion of its new hubs in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia. The project also emphasizes economic contributions, including over 250 new jobs in the Lorena area, and aligns with Cox Enterprises' broader investments in sustainable food systems.
