Salad Days has opened a 68,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse in Flora, Mississippi, achieving full operational capacity. The facility, inaugurated on St. Patrick's Day, employs Prospiant greenhouse systems and FGM automation to yield up to 3 million heads of lettuce annually.

It will supply customers in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida with hydroponic lettuce year-round, utilizing controlled-environment agriculture for consistent output. The project has garnered support from multiple local and state entities, enhancing Madison County's agricultural sector.
