Bright Farms announces state-of-the-art lettuce greenhouse in Georgia

BrightFarms, a national leader in indoor farming, has celebrated the opening of its newest greenhouse in Macon, Georgia. The facility is the most advanced in the state. 

It’s the third new build in less than six months for BrightFarms, following the successful openings of its state-of-the-art greenhouse hubs in Lorena, Texas, and Yorkville, Illinois.

BrightFarms and its parent company Cox Farms, a Cox Enterprises company, invited Macon leaders and other distinguished guests from across the state to explore the future of greenhouse technology. The grand opening event featured interactive tours of the new Cox Farms Discovery Center, an expert-led panel discussion on the future of food and an inside look at how BrightFarms is redefining freshness, innovation and accessibility.

“Georgia has been home to Cox since 1939, and we’re proud to deepen our roots in the state through this significant investment,” said Steve Bradley, president of Cox Farms.
