Edible Garden announced a major retail expansion Monday morning. Headquartered in Belvidere in Warren County, the company secured a significant distribution deal with Walmart to bring its fresh cut herbs to stores throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
The rollout is projected to substantially boost consumer access to sustainably grown culinary herbs for millions of shoppers across the territory. Initial shipments under the expanded agreement are slated to kick off in the third quarter of 2026.
Company executives emphasized that deepening ties with major commercial anchors like Walmart marks a significant milestone in Edible Garden’s long-term corporate growth strategy.
“Growing our distribution with Walmart represents another meaningful step in executing our long-term growth strategy,” Jim Kras, chief executive officer of Edible Garden, said. “We’re pleased to broaden consumer access to our premium, fresh herbs while continuing to strengthen our relationship with one of the world‘s leading retailers.”
Kras noted that the broader footprint underscores the validity of the company’s differentiated business model, alongside its ongoing investments in scalable, tech-driven agriculture.
Edible Garden anchors its operations through indoor agriculture frameworks. Operating out of its Belvidere headquarters—alongside regional facilities in Michigan and Iowa—the company utilizes data analytics and precision agriculture to optimize crop yields, maintain rigorous food safety standards and curtail food miles.
Operating under a Zero-Waste Inspired® mission, the New Jersey innovator integrates resource-efficient practices spanning sustainable packaging choices to patented self-watering retail displays designed to maximize product freshness on supermarket shelves.
As the third-quarter launch date approaches, the expanded Mid-Atlantic partnership reinforces the Garden State’s standing as a burgeoning hub for agricultural technology and sustainable food distribution.
