Edible Garden AG Incorporated (NASDAQ: EDBL) shares began Wednesday sharply higher. The Belvedere, New Jersey-based company, claiming a status as a leader in controlled environment agriculture, locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products, today announced a strategic expansion of its Zero-Waste Inspired platform through the development of a state-of-the-art ready-to-drink manufacturing initiative at its Edible Garden facility in the Midwest.
The expansion is driven in large part by increasing demand from major national retailers for scalable, high-quality, and reliable RTD solutions capable of delivering clean-label, shelf-stable nutrition at scale.
This initiative reflects the Company’s evolution into a vertically integrated domestic clean-label nutrition platform, that combines controlled-environment agriculture, scalable aseptic capacity, and differentiated brands across sports nutrition, adult and children’s performance nutrition, and GLP-1 supportive categories.
As part of this initiative, Edible Garden has selected Tetra Pak, a global leader in food processing and packaging solutions, for the planning, installation, and integration of proprietary processing at a Midwest facility. The Company intends to execute an agreement with Tetra Pak Wednesday at 2:00 PM PT during Natural Products Expo West 2026 in Anaheim, California.
Edible Garden’s Midwest facility encompasses more than 200,000 square feet of food-grade manufacturing space supported by extensive warehousing and logistics infrastructure in the heart of America’s agricultural corridor. The site is being transformed into a dedicated RTD and clean nutrition hub designed to support aseptic and ultra-filtered beverage production across protein, plant-based, dairy, and functional categories.
EDBL shares acquired 29 cents, or 11.3%, to $3.83.
