From Area Development Magazine:

“Opening a farm in Boone County will allow us to grow closer to our retail partners in Lexington and Louisville and introduce our fresh, healthy, locally grown produce to many more Kentuckians. [“¦] We’re always looking for ways to increase our impact, and this farm is the biggest step forward for us yet, more than doubling our total production and growing our footprint outside Ohio.” [“¦]

“Agritech growth is a major part of our effort to create a sustainable economy that works for all Kentuckians. I am very pleased to welcome 80 Acres Farms to the commonwealth. [“¦] These well-paying jobs will create quality opportunities for our workforce. I want to thank the company’s leaders for locating in Kentucky and I can’t wait to see the facility up and running this year.” [“¦]

“80 Acres is leveraging its science and technology to grow its products and scale its supply chain with much success. [“¦] A lot of collaboration with Duke Energy, Boone County and the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development brought this project to fruition. I’m excited to buy 80 Acres’ Kentucky-grown produce at my local Kroger.”
