Edible Garden aims initiative at vertical integration of Grand Rapids facility

Edible Garden announced a new initiative aimed at vertical integration of its Edible Garden Heartland facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, allowing the Company to shift production of its potted herbs from contract-growers to in-house production which is expected to enhance the Company’s margins. Mr. Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden, commented, “As a result of our vertical integration initiative, I am pleased to announce we are now shipping the USDA Organic potted herbs produced at our Edible Garden Heartland facility to major distribution partners in the Midwest…. Having Edible Garden Heartland operate at a higher capacity enables us to shift from contract growers to in-house production, starting with potted herbs. We believe this vertical integration illustrates our commitment to maximizing the operating efficiency of our facilities as we forge ahead toward our goal of profitability.”
