Gotham Greens opens largest urban agriculture campus
Gotham Greens' produce is grown using hydroponic systems in 100% renewable electricity-powered greenhouses that use 95% less water and 97% less land than conventional farming.
Gotham Greens, Brooklyn, N.Y., opened its largest greenhouse in Chicago. The expansion enables Gotham Greens to deliver fresh produce year-round to retail, restaurant and foodservice customers across the Midwest.
The new 100,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art greenhouse is Gotham Greens' second greenhouse in the Historic Pullman Neighborhood of Chicago and sixth greenhouse nationwide. It resides in the Ryerson Steel Mill, which was repurposed by Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives. The greenhouse more than doubles the company's Midwest production to 11 million heads of lettuce annually.
