GreenThumb tracks plants through all stages of production and distribution, supporting quality control, traceability, fill-rate management, and logistics optimization, including maximizing truckload efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We believe GreenThumb is a meaningful competitive differentiator and an important component of our Zero-Waste Inspired® model.
Removed
We have also developed patented software called GreenThumb that assists in tracking plants through our supply chain. Utilizing our GreenThumb software to track the status of our plants as they grow and move throughout the greenhouse allows us to add a layer of quality control due to the frequent monitoring of the growing process, leading to improved traceability.
Added
As of December 31, 2025, we offer more than 140 stock keeping units ("SKUs") spanning two principal product segments: (i) fresh produce, including cut herbs, hydroponic basil, potted herbs, and wheatgrass; and (ii) shelf-stable and refrigerated consumer packaged goods, including sports nutrition and nutraceuticals (Kick.™ and Vitamin Whey®/Vitamin Way®), fermented gourmet sauces and chili-based products (Pulp®), and functional fermented pickles and sauerkraut (Pickle Party™).
Removed
In this context, traceability means being able to track a plant through all stages of production and distribution. In addition to improving traceability, GreenThumb helps us better manage the day-to-day operations of our business. GreenThumb is a web-based greenhouse management and demand planning system.
Added
We also supply products under private label arrangements to major retail customers. We have leveraged our brand recognition to offer co-manufactured consumer-packaged goods across protein, fermented foods, and flavoring categories in addition to our core fresh produce business.
Removed
We also use our GreenThumb software to help monitor the quality of our products, and we have dedicated quality assurance and quality control personnel that check and monitor our products.
Added
Our tagline "Simply Local, Simply Fresh" reflects our strategy of growing products in regional communities close to the retail locations where they are sold, extending shelf life and supporting local brand awareness. Our products are available in over 5,000 retail locations across the United States, the Caribbean, and South America.
Removed
We have customer service personnel that answer any questions the consumers of our products may have, and we regularly ask for feedback from our customers on the quality of our products.
Added
We operate vertically integrated greenhouses and processing facilities at Edible Garden Heartland in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Edible Garden Prairie Hills in Webster City, Iowa; and our headquarters at Edible Garden Belvidere in Belvidere, New Jersey.
Removed
The combination of the GreenThumb software, quality assurance and control processes (including compliance with food safety standards), and feedback from consumers and purchasers holds us accountable for maintaining the quality of our products.
Added
We also partner with a network of contract growers strategically located near major U.S. population centers. 4 Table of Contents We hold food safety certifications from Primus GFS (a Global Food Safety Initiative ("GFSI")-accredited program), USDA Organic certification for applicable products, and non-GMO verification from the non-GMO Project for select SKUs.
Removed
We focus our efforts on producing our herbs and vegetables in a sustainable manner that will reduce consumption of natural resources, by recycling water in our closed loop system and using LED lights instead of conventional lightbulbs to accelerate crop growth and yield, when necessary.
Added
We are licensed under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act ("PACA") and voluntarily comply with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point ("HACCP") principles established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We have a history of operating losses since inception and expect to incur additional near-term losses.
Removed
In addition, the inventory management component of GreenThumb allows us to manage inventory levels, order quantities and fill rates while maximizing truck loads.
Added
Since our initial public offering, our primary business strategy has been focused on the production and sale of fresh, locally grown, USDA Organic produce through a vertically integrated CEA model. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and continuing into early 2026, we began executing a material expansion and evolution of that strategy.
Removed
This means that we are better able to control shipping our products in full truck loads and retailer backhaul programs, thus eliminating multiple deliveries and decreasing the excess emission of greenhouse gases that would result from many partially full trucks delivering our products.
Added
Specifically, we are transitioning our Edible Garden Prairie Hills facility in Webster City, Iowa into a dedicated ready-to-drink ("RTD") and clean nutrition manufacturing hub. This initiative represents a significant broadening of our business from primarily fresh, perishable produce into what we expect will be higher-margin, shelf-stable beverage and nutrition categories.
Removed
Together, these elements of our production and distribution process are intended to reduce our carbon footprint, or the total amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions, as compared to a legacy farm business. We believe our focus on our brand “Edible Garden” is a significant differentiator.
Added
We have characterized this evolution as the development of a vertically integrated domestic clean-label nutrition platform that combines our existing controlled-environment agriculture capabilities with scalable aseptic processing capacity and differentiated branded products across sports nutrition, adult and children's performance nutrition, and GLP-1 supportive categories.
Removed
The brand not only lends itself to our current portfolio of products but allows us to develop other products in the “Consumer Brands” category. Our focus on sustainability, traceability, and social contribution, which we define as an ongoing effort to improve employee relations, working conditions, and local communities, presents our value proposition to our customers and supermarket partners and distributors.
