AgFunderNews can reveal that the deal was worth more than $40 million in equity capital, according to sources close to the deal. The funding will go towards the completion of 80 Acres' Hamilton, Ohio facility, which was announced last year and is set to be partially operational in the next few months. It will be automated from seeding to growing to harvesting featuring handling robotics, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and around-the-clock monitoring sensors and control systems to optimize every aspect of growing produce indoors. The company also has facilities -- that are more manually operated -- in Arkansas, North Carolina and Alabama from which it serves local major national grocers, local retailers, restaurants, and food service companies with leafy greens, tomatoes, micro greens and herbs. It expects to add grapes and strawberries in the near future.
