Berkshire Produce
Berkshire Produce is a leading US based grower and distributor of fresh vegetables, with a strong focus on year round, locally produced lettuce. From its controlled environment agriculture facility, Berkshire combines advanced growing conditions with scalable production to deliver consistent quality to retail and foodservice customers across the United States.
Driven by increasing demand for reliable, locally grown leafy greens, Berkshire Produce continues to invest in automation and cultivation optimization. The goal is clear: increase production capacity, streamline labor intensive processes, and ensure predictable yields and consistent product quality within a high performance CEA operation.
The challenge
Creating an entire line for the proces from seed to transportation.
Producing lettuce plugs internally gives Berkshire full control over plant quality, planning, and availability. This improves consistency across the entire production cycle and reduces reliance on external suppliers.
Automation reduces labor intensity and improves space utilization within the CEA facility. This leads to lower production costs per square meter while maintaining consistent output and reliability.
Optimized processes and automation enable Berkshire to compete with field grown lettuce on cost. This strengthens the economic viability of locally produced CEA lettuce in the US market.
