A premium extension of its greenhouse-grown leafy greens into a broader indoor-grown portfolio, the line is sourced from both greenhouse and vertical farms. The new Specialty Greens line is bringing the same pesticide-free, always-fresh BrightFarms standard to a growing range of greens.
The company works with trusted growers who have spent years perfecting it, and the Specialty Greens line is about making sure the packaging reflects the premium greens inside. "Consumers are paying attention to where their food comes from and how it's grown," said Matt DiNitto, executive vice president of sales at BrightFarms.
"The Specialty Greens line gives retail partners a credible, scalable answer to that demand."

Why this matters: For operators, this is a water-management story. The useful signal is that direct substrate measurements can help cut drain loss materially without giving up yield or fruit quality, which is exactly the kind of controllable efficiency gain a facility can build on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does substrate sensing matter in free-drain strawberry systems?
Because drain percentage tells a grower what already happened, while substrate moisture and EC data show root-zone conditions directly. That makes it easier to cut water loss without guessing.
What is the operator takeaway from this trial?
If the thresholds are understood well enough, growers can reduce drain water materially while protecting yield and fruit quality, which makes sensing an operational tool instead of a reporting tool.
