80 Acres Farms and Soli Organic Merge to Form One of the World’s Largest Indoor Farming Networks

In a major move for the controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) sector, 80 Acres Farms and Soli Organic have announced a strategic merger that will create one of the largest indoor farming networks in the world. The combined operation strengthens the U.S. position in high-tech food production and accelerates the shift toward fresher, more sustainable leafy greens and herbs grown in protected environments.

Both companies are pioneers in advanced indoor production systems:

• 80 Acres Farms is known for its fully automated vertical farms using robotics, AI, and data analytics to grow leafy greens year-round.

• Soli Organic brings decades of experience in USDA-certified organic indoor agriculture, rooted in soil-based growing systems that deliver premium flavor and nutritional quality.

By joining forces, the companies aim to scale up a national network capable of delivering:

• Consistent supply of fresh produce regardless of climate or season

• Reduced environmental footprint, with lower water use and zero pesticides

• Shorter farm-to-consumer distance, improving shelf life and reducing waste

• Greater resilience to climate volatility and disruptions in traditional supply chains

Industry analysts say the merger signals a new phase in U.S. CEA consolidation, with companies pooling technology, distribution capabilities, and capital to compete with global players and meet rising demand for high-quality, locally grown produce.

With the partnership, the new combined entity is positioned to become a leading global reference in indoor farming, offering scalable solutions for food security and sustainable production.
