According to a press release, Little Leaf Farms says it projects that will break $100 million in sales by the end of 2023.
"We're incredibly excited about what the future holds for Little Leaf Farms," said Paul Sellew, founder and CEO of Little Leaf Farms. "We have an aggressive expansion goal of 100 acres under glass by 2026 and are well on our way to meeting that goal. We believe in the promise of CEA as a sustainable, scalable solution to the climate challenges facing field-grown crops and remain committed to our mission to bring fresh, sustainable leafy greens to all."
In 2022, Little Leaf Farms raised $300 million in new capital for what they say will be "aggressive" expansion. Based in Massachusetts, the company also has a farm in McAdoo, Pennsylvania with plans to build in North Carolina. The company was founded in 2015.
