Premium rooftop and greenhouse salad greens brand; 13 facilities, 1.8M sq ft, sold in 3,000+ stores nationwide — profitable CEA survivor.
Gotham Greens is a New York-based indoor farming and food company founded in 2009 by Viraj Puri and Eric Haley. The company operates a network of high-tech greenhouse facilities — including rooftop greenhouses in urban areas and large-scale operations in suburban locations — producing premium salad greens, herbs, and dressings sold to retail and foodservice customers nationwide.\n\nGotham Greens operates 13 greenhouse facilities with a combined footprint of approximately 1.8 million square feet across multiple states, and its products are available in more than 3,000 grocery stores including Whole Foods, Kroger, Target, and Walmart. The company differentiates by co-locating farms near population centers to reduce transport distance and time from harvest to shelf, delivering locally grown produce with multi-week freshness advantages over field-grown alternatives.\n\nWhile peers like Bowery Farming and Plenty collapsed under the weight of energy costs and over-expansion, Gotham Greens has remained operationally focused and reportedly profitable — a testament to its disciplined capital allocation and premium retail positioning. The brand has become a model for sustainable CEA (controlled environment agriculture) scaling at a time when the vertical farming sector is under significant scrutiny.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
