Flavor-Forward Plenty Expands Product Availability through Bay Area Food Retailers


SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Plenty, the flavor-first vertical farming company with a mission to improve the health of people and the planet, today announced it is increasing the Bay Area's access to tasteful greens through key retailers in the region. Whole Foods Market locations in San Francisco, including Franklin, Potrero Hill and Soma, and Safeway locations in Menlo Park and Oakland have joined Andronico's, Good Eggs, Berkeley Bowl, and Draeger's grocery stores to offer Plenty's ultra-clean produce.

Plenty produce is designed for the best possible flavor while growing with extreme efficiency and cleanliness. The farms are able to control variables like climate and light, while using less than 1% of the land and less than 5% of the water compared to an outdoor farm. 

"We're excited to work with these essential Bay Area retailers to make our craveable produce more widely available," said Matt Barnard, CEO and co-founder of Plenty. "Whole Foods Market and Safeway, in addition to Andronico's, Good Eggs, Berkeley Bowl, and Draeger's, have earned the trust of their customers to provide the best in produce, and we're honored to be among those selected to be in their stores. As a company with a mission to improve health, we're happy to be delivering our clean, pesticide-free greens to these communities and will continue to work tirelessly to bring Plenty to more stores across the San Francisco Bay Area."

"We should not eat produce just for the sake of eating produce. We should eat fresh produce because it tastes great while minimizing environmental impact. This is why people need greater access to local, healthy vegetables that are full of great flavor and nutrients," said Dominique Crenn, Michelin-starred chef and owner of Atelier Crenn, and a key member of Plenty's Culinary Advisory Board. "In order to effect real environmental change, we should focus on encouraging others to incorporate more plants into their diet. However, there should never be a reason to compromise on the quality - and these greens show that it is possible to strike that balance."

Whole Foods Market will pilot carrying the Plenty products in three San Francisco stores including Franklin, Potrero Hill and Soma locations. Available now, Plenty greens made their Safeway debut at the Menlo Park store on El Camino Real and in Oakland at 100 Broadway. The retailers are carrying four of Plenty's taste-elevated products:
