Description BrightFarms is a national leader in the booming indoor farming industry, transforming how produce is grown and delivered with its expanding network of high-tech, sustainable hydroponic farms. Acquired by Cox Enterprises in 2021, BrightFarms operates hydroponic greenhouse farms in the communities it serves, enabling it to eliminate time, distance, and costs from the food supply chain. BrightFarms' growing methods, a model for the future of scalable, sustainable local farming, uses far less energy, land, and water than long-distance, field-grown agriculture.

BrightFarms' fresh lettuce options, from classic greens to crunchy mixes and salad kits, are available in more than 5,000 retail stores* across the Central and Eastern parts of the United States.
