80 Acres Farms Expands Operations to New States
On March 4, 80 Acres Farms acquired three vertical farms in Georgia, Texas, and Colorado that were previously owned by Kalera, Inc.
This acquisition relies on the company’s ability to retrofit existing farms with Infinite Acres’ platform technology, which was developed in collaboration with Siemens, Signify, SICK, and TTA-ISO.
The newly acquired farms will extend the company’s network of large-scale commercial facilities beyond Ohio and Kentucky. 80 Acres Farms grows greens (including spinach), microgreens, tomatoes, and herbs, and has recently expanded its Kentucky farm, which opened in 2023, nearly doubling its capacity.
The two companies have complementary commercial relationships with retailers and food distributors that will strengthen 80 Acres Farms’ go-to-market capability. Prior to the acquisition, the company served more than 1,500 retail locations, mostly in the Midwest. 80 Acres Farms also owns and operates R&D facilities in Arkansas, an advanced systems and design field lab in the Netherlands, and advanced plant genetics facilities in Israel.
