Listing Number: 21997-476682
Description
This is a well-established controlled-environment agriculture business located in Southern Arizona. The company has been operating for over 10 years and specializes in producing fresh, locally grown leafy greens and herbs year-round using advanced, resource-efficient greenhouse systems.
Business Model: The company supplies high-quality produce through long-term contracts with food banks, schools, grocery retailers, and restaurants. Their vertically integrated process ensures consistent quality, longer shelf life, and reliable margins.
Sales and Marketing: Approximately 70-90% of production is sold under 6-12 month contracts to major accounts, with the balance distributed to local restaurants and grocers. The company currently does zero marketing, as demand consistently exceeds supply.
Operations: The business operates from a 47,000 sq. ft. lot with a 10,000 sq. ft. computer-controlled greenhouse, producing over 500,000 lbs. of leafy greens annually. Day-to-day operations are overseen by the owner with support from a lean team of employees, making this a turnkey acquisition with established systems in place.
Growth Opportunities: Existing customers are requesting additional product lines (SKUs) and greater production volume, representing a clear path to scale. Expansion into grocery chains’ regional distribution centers could drive significant 10x growth with the right capital investment.
Broker Takeaways:
- Proven profitability with 100% of current capacity consistently sold.
- Strong institutional and retail relationships, including food banks, school districts, and major grocery chains.
- Turnkey operation with sustainable systems and immediate scalability potential.
- A buyer with an agriculture, food distribution, sustainability, non-profit/social impact background is ideal, though the business can be managed by an operator with strong general management skills and training.
