One Mississippi hydroponic farm is growing more than lettuce — the company is expanding operations with new jobs and an $8.18 million investment.
Salad Days Produce, a woman-owned, hydroponic farming business based in Flora, Mississippi, is expanding its operations in Madison County and is expected to create at least 12 new jobs and significantly increase the company’s production capacity.
The project includes the construction of a new 65,000-square-foot Controlled-Environment Agriculture (CEA) facility in Flora Industrial Park, adding to Salad Days’ existing 21,000-square-foot operation. This state-of-the-art facility will boost the company’s production capacity by eight times, enabling it to serve larger grocery chains and regional produce distributors.
Salad Days Produce is known for its pesticide-free, hydroponically grown lettuce, which it supplies to restaurants and food service providers year-round. The new facility, slated for completion in July 2025, will help meet growing demand from retailers and restaurants in the region.
