Revol Greens is preparing for the opening of their largest facility to date, built in Temple, Texas.
Planting within the first of 20 planned acres in Phase 1 of this new greenhouse is expected to start by the end of 2022, according to a news release.
At scale, and coupled with existing capacity, the Texas facility will provide Revol Greens with nearly 50 acres of organic baby leaf production equaling over 25 million pounds of fresh product annually, according to the release.
“We are focused on meeting the ever-increasing consumer demand for high-quality, sustainable, greenhouse-protected leafy greens,” Michael Wainscott, CEO, said in the release. “In response to this increasing demand, we’re excited to continue to build capacity at our existing facilities and expand our national footprint with new locations.”
In a related move, the company said it has hired Warren Bishop to be director of sales for the Texas region. Bishop previously worked for Dole Fresh Vegetables.
Revol Greens also added growers Francisco Rodarte and Efrain Rodarte to oversee production at the Temple facility. Each brings over 15 years of greenhouse growing experience, according to the release.
Expansion efforts are also underway in other locations, the company said. Those projects include doubling capacity at each of the locations in Athens, Ga., Owatonna, Minn., and Tehachapi, Calif., according to the release.
