The products grown in the new facility will be subjected to the company’s rigorous food safety standards.
Bella Verdi, Dripping Springs, Texas, opened the doors to its new 20,000-square-foot greenhouse facility in Austin, Texas. The new facility will increase production of the company’s living and specialty lettuces as well as other leafy greens.
“This [expansion] will more than double our current production capacity, and help us to meet the increased demand for our lettuce products,” says Robert Jennings, president and CEO. “We are now able to be more flexible and responsive to our customers’ needs and the growing marketplace, as consumers are looking for choices that include locally grown, healthy and organic products, not to mention less waste, which is met through our living lettuce products.”
