Bowery Farming to create 100 jobs in Locust Grove

The company's expansion to Georgia comes in response to a sharp increase in demand across the Southeast for its freshly grown greens and lettuces.

Bowery Farming provides leafy greens and herbs to more than 800 U.S. grocery stores and major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Walmart, Whole Foods Market, Albertsons, and more.

By strategically expanding to Henry County, the company will provide locally grown produce to a population of 20 million people within a 200-mile radius of its new state-of-the-art farm. Committed to sustainability, Bowery's farms are powered 100 percent by energy from renewable sources and grow local, pesticide-free protected produce. Additionally, Bowery's smart indoor farms grow crops 365 days a year, regardless of weather conditions.

Bowery Farming will operate a large-scale commercial farm located at Colvin Drive and Highway 42 in Locust Grove. The company will begin hiring for year-round green jobs in 2022.
