Virginia indoor vertical farming company AeroFarms announced Tuesday that several of its greens products are now available at Harris Teeter grocery stores.
The company said that shoppers can find its “Micro Broccoli,” “Rainbow Mix,” “Micro Kale” and “Super Mix” products at all Harris Teeter locations across seven states in the Southeast, as well as the District of Columbia — including 20 stores located within a 90-mile radius of AeroFarms’ facility in Danville, Virginia.
Company officials said that indoor farming enables year-round access to greens and longer shelf lives while reducing the risk of food loss compared to greens grown in California or Arizona.
“The adjacency of our farm in Virginia to Harris Teeter’s distribution centers translates to longer shelf-life, shorter transportation routes and, ultimately, more time for shoppers to use and enjoy our microgreens,” Dane Almassy, AeroFarms senior vice president of sales and marketing, said in a statement.
