• The Dallas Morning News reports that Walmart is upping its produce game, making a deal to sell packaged greens made by Eden Green Technology - described as “a Dallas-based next-generation farming company” that has developed “a vertical farm able to supply a large regional food distribution system” - in its Dallas stores.
According to the story, “Eden said its initial products include multiple lettuce varieties and greens. Packages will be stamped with the harvest date. It's also producing Stevia leaves for a sweet salad blend, which the company said is an industry first.”
But Walmart isn’t the only local company trying to innovate in produce: “Dallas-based Central Market has been selling fresh salad greens and herbs that are growing behind its Lovers Lane store in Dallas since April 2017. It's also using vertical farming in specially outfitted containers.”
