Commitment to Zero-Waste Inspired® Mission Fuels Growth


BELVIDERE, New Jersey, Jan. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products, today announced that the Company experienced a more than 50% year-over-year increase in preliminary Produce sales results for the key holiday time period.1

Mr. Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden, commented, "We are extremely proud of Edible Garden's performance this holiday season, marked by an outstanding year-over-year increase in Produce sales of more than 50%. This comes on the heels of a record-breaking Thanksgiving holiday period when the Company experienced a more than 45% year-over-year increase in preliminary sales results.  Once again, the Company’s high fulfillment rate of 98%, which ranks among the industry’s best, was a driving factor in the Company’s success. It is rates like these that we believe appeal to our distribution partners as they view Edible Garden as a supplier they can count on.”

Our reputation for dependability and quality is not just acknowledged by our current partners but we believe also enhances our appeal for prospective network growth.
