Bowery Farming's Vertical Farming Asset Liquidation Announced By SecondBloom
SecondBloom, a North American leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) asset recovery, announced a partnership with M Davis Group to manage the complete liquidation of Bowery Farming’s $70 million vertical farming facility in Locust Grove, Georgia.
The 200,000-square-foot facility, one of the most advanced vertical farms ever constructed, contains over $32 million in new, never-used equipment, offering what SecondBloom calls an “unprecedented opportunity” for agricultural operators and researchers.
