Little Leaf Farms to open greenhouse in Manchester

Little Leaf Farms announced the company is establishing its first Tennessee greenhouse in Manchester. Little Leaf Farms will create 318 new jobs over five years and invest nearly $75 million at the Manchester Industrial Park, a Select Tennessee Certified Site. The company’s operations will be state-of-the art with new growing and manufacturing facilities that have the capacity to produce and distribute packaged leafy greens throughout the Midwest and Southeast U.S.  Additionally, the project benefits from Tennessee’s AgTrack Cost Share Fund, an incentive program to promote and encourage agricultural development in Tennessee. Little Leaf Farms is recognized as the country’s No. 1 brand of packaged lettuce sustainably grown through controlled environment agriculture. The company developed its first greenhouse in Massachusetts in 2015 and has since grown to include facilities in Pennsylvania, which is the largest indoor leafy greens campus in North America.
