Local Bounti (NYSE:LOCL) Inc. is a technology-driven indoor farming company that cultivates non-GMO leafy greens, microgreens and culinary herbs in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) facilities. By leveraging its proprietary Hybrid Growing System, the company maintains precise control over lighting, temperature and nutrient delivery, enabling year-round production of high-quality produce free from pesticides and seasonality constraints.
Headquartered in Montana, Local Bounti operates multiple cultivation centers across the United States, each designed to maximize water efficiency and minimize land use. The company’s product lineup includes salad blends, kale, spinach, arugula and specialty microgreens, which it distributes through regional grocery chains, foodservice operators and wholesale partners. Its vertically integrated model—spanning seed selection, cultivation, harvest and packaging—allows for rapid replenishment and reduced supply-chain complexity.
Founded in 2017, Local Bounti transitioned from pilot projects to commercial scale within a few years, culminating in a public listing in early 2022. The company completed its business combination to access capital for facility expansion, technology enhancements and broader distribution. Since going public, Local Bounti has focused on scaling operational capacity, improving automation and advancing R&D initiatives aimed at new crop varieties and further resource efficiencies.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Charles Sutton, Local Bounti is committed to redefining the produce supply chain by delivering consistently fresh, sustainably grown greens to consumers and retail partners. With an emphasis on environmental stewardship and innovation, the company aims to expand its footprint, deepen retailer relationships and set new standards for indoor agriculture performance.
