FACTS WE LIVE BY

LOCAL IS BEST.

Your produce is rarely grown local, but we are changing that. We strive to make the distance between our farm and your plate as short as possible. Growing local delivers sustainable products, markets, and partnerships to the benefit of our communities and our world. We believe local is the best kind of business.

HAPPY PLANTS=HAPPY TASTE BUDS.

We love happy plants. Our plants are kept in the perfect environment from seed to packaging and our living products keep our produce fresh and delicious for weeks. The result? Happy taste buds. You will taste and smell the difference. Regardless of season and location, we bring the farmers’ market to your neighborhood.

IT’S TIME TO REIMAGINE FRESHNESS.

Most produce spends weeks in transport on the way to your kitchen. We believe there is a better way. Local Bounti reimagines “fresh” through our local, sustainable farming with a 365-day growing season, and a wide variety of living products. When our produce hits your plate, you will experience a new standard of fresh.
