Food and Beverage ManufacturingNew York, United States201-500 Employees
BrightFarms grows local produce and distributes it across the United States through a network of greenhouse facilities. The company finances, builds, and operates these local farms in partnership with supermarkets, cities, capital sources, and vendors. This model aims to shorten the food supply chain by reducing time, distance, and costs, while producing pesticide-free produce with significantly less energy, land, and water use than long-distance field agriculture. The company is based in Irvington, New York, and operates as a mid-sized participant in the food and beverage manufacturing industry. In the indoor farming sector, BrightFarms is positioned as a national leader and has been recognized by Fast Company as among the world's most innovative companies and a top performer in the food category. In late 2024, BrightFarms opened a 1.5 million square-foot greenhouse in Texas and expanded its presence there.
