Salad Days announces $8.5 million expansion in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Salad Days Hydroponic Farm in Flora, Mississippi, announced an $8.5 million expansion, adding 65,000 square feet to its existing 21,000-square-foot facility. The automated greenhouse is expected to create at least 20 jobs. This expansion will enhance the farm’s capacity to produce pesticide-free lettuce, meeting the demands of both existing clients and new ones, including high-end restaurants and grocers across several states. President Leigh Bailey emphasized that this facility addresses previous capacity issues and solidifies Salad Days as a preferred brand among top chefs in the Deep South. The expansion received support from various local and state economic development agencies.
