Revol Greens Further Expands Its New Texas Greenhouse Adding 10 Acres, Increasing Output By 50 Percent

The Planned Temple, TX Facility Size Increase Will Meet Growing Consumer Demand For Fresh Greens, Now Including Head Lettuce - All Delivered Within 24 Hours of Harvest

Today Revol Greens, a leading producer of high-quality, locally grown, greenhouse lettuce, announces the successful completion of a facility expansion to its Temple, TX greenhouse. The site's step-up to 20 acres scales the company's output to meet accelerated local Texas consumer demand for Revol Greens' fresh, greenhouse-grown organic baby leaf and romaine head lettuce programs. It marks a significant milestone in Revol Greens' commitment to serve Texas (and beyond) by product delivered from its greenhouse to local stores and restaurants within 24 - 48 hours of harvest to customers including Sprouts, Walmart, Target, Costco, Amazon Fresh, Aldi, US Foods, and United Supermarkets.


"We are thrilled to share this exciting news with our customers and partners," said Michael Wainscott, CEO of Revol Greens. "Since opening our Temple greenhouse in May of this year, the team, community and customer's response has surpassed our expectations - and the full launch of our phase one strategy will help deliver upon those commitments."

The expansion introduces its head lettuce program in Texas, which will include organic and conventional varieties of butter leaf and romaine lettuce during a time period where field alternatives make the tenuous transition to Yuma, Arizona. Throughout 2023, Revol Greens has significantly expanded its romaine program and now Revol's romaine heads are sold in over 2,500 retail stores nationwide. This program has continued to see significant growth as customers look for consistent lettuce offerings given the headwinds the broader lettuce industry has been facing.

The completed expansion also supports the company's ongoing commitment to a scaled approach while maintaining sustainability and responsible farming practices. The increased output and expanded head lettuce program reduces Revol Greens' and their customers footprint by reducing lead-time, shrink and freight miles by local delivery of its fresh, pesticide-free, Non-GMO greens year-round.

"The macro environment continues to be a challenge, stressing critical factors of our food supply - from climate change, labor shortages, and continued inflationary trends," Wainscott continued. "Our customers in Texas and beyond have sought solutions for these factors which has led to our most rapid launch to date. From our nationwide romaine program to our robust organic offering, we provide optionality and assurity of supply to our customers."

Revol Greens products can currently be found between $2.99-$3.99 retail in Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon Fresh, Target, Sprouts, and United Supermarkets. For more information visit www.revolgreens.com.

Photophyll™ Select from CREE LED

Photophyll™ Select from CREE LED

Photophyll Select is a new phosphor-converted LED color with blue and green spectral output tuned for horticulture applications. These LEDs are designed to replace the white LEDs that are common in two-channel white + red horticulture luminaires. By maximizing green content and minimizing red content versus standard lighting LEDs, this LED color enables significant enhancements to luminaire cost and performance. Photophyll Select LEDs are the industry's first LEDs to be entirely binned in horticulture metrics, enabling more straightforward spectrum design without confusing translations or conversions. The spectral output of these LEDs is binned into two metrics, both of which are based on the amount of PPF in standard Blue (400-499 nm), Green (500-599 nm) and Red (600-700 nm) bands. The two spectral metrics are percentage of Red PPF content and the ratio of Green to Blue PPF content.
