The company’s Rockingham County farm complex serves as the eastern hub of operations, with spokes in the mid-Atlantic, Midwest and South Central markets. It recently opened its third indoor growing facility in Sherman, Texas. The other two are in Virginia and Indiana.
The combination of greenhouses and indoor growing rooms changes the way highly perishable produce can be grown and distributed, says CEO Timothy Heydon. Shenandoah Growers is able to produce more than 30 million certified-organic plants per year — from arugula to thyme — under these controlled conditions.
The only large-scale, USDA certified organic, soil-based, indoor growing system in the United States, Shenandoah Growers has 12 operating facilities including growing, packing, and logistics located nationwide, and currently delivers organic, local produce sold in over 18,000 retail stores every day. The company has developed and implemented a proven, proprietary indoor growing system that delivers fresh organic produce at comparable prices to conventional alternatives for consumers across the country.
Additionally, Shenandoah Growers is currently expanding its latest Generation 3 indoor Biofarms, adding an additional 10 million pounds of USDA certified organic production over the next three years for its growing national customer base. The company now has more than 1,200 employees working at farms, production facilities and logistics operations in 11 states.
