The expanded distribution comes ahead of Labor Day weekend, a period of increased demand for fresh herbs driven by grilling, entertaining and seasonal meal preparation, and provides ShopRite shoppers with access to fresh, certified organic basil grown using Edible Garden\u2019s controlled environment agriculture platform and localized supply-chain model.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Edible Garden\u2019s USDA Organic basil is grown in a controlled environment designed to provide greater consistency, quality and year-round availability while reducing reliance on long-distance supply chains.

Launching this product ahead of Labor Day also gives ShopRite shoppers a differentiated fresh herb option at a time when families are gathering, grilling, and preparing meals together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWakefern and its supermarket members have built a strong reputation for delivering fresh, high-quality products to their customers, and we are proud to expand our relationship with them. The program utilizes Wakefern\u2019s backhaul logistics network, allowing our products to be picked up as part of existing transportation routes, which is designed to enhance supply-chain efficiency, reduce unnecessary food miles and further support our Zero-Waste Inspired\u00ae mission. We believe this program demonstrates the value of our controlled environment agriculture platform and localized distribution capabilities, while creating additional opportunities to grow our presence with major retail partners,\u201d concluded Mr. Kras.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <b>ABOUT EDIBLE GARDEN<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Edible Garden AG Incorporated is a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), delivering organic, better-for-you, sustainable produce and products through its Zero-Waste Inspired<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> next-generation farming model.
