Sensei Farms expands U.S. greenhouse network with 26-acre acquisition

Sensei Farms recently acquired a 283,000-square-foot greenhouse and research facility on 26 acres of land in Lockhart, Texas.

“Texas has a rich, unique history in both agriculture and technology, making it a great choice for us,” said Dave Douglas, CEO at Sensei Farms.  “We look forward to being part of the local economy in Lockhart as an employer and producer of fresh produce.”

Construction is already underway, which includes an existing structure that will be outfitted with Sensei Farms' proprietary growing technology. The new facility is designed to grow leafy greens under the Sensei Farms brand while optimizing resource efficiency and crop performance.

The site also includes open land for future expansion that will be used to grow a variety of other fruits and vegetables.

“The Ccity of Lockhart is a prime location for our expanding business,” said Theuns Roux, SVP of finance, supply chain and strategy at Sensei Ag. “We appreciate the Lockhart Economic Development Corporation fostering a business environment that attracts innovation and investment in the region. The result will be cutting-edge opportunities in indoor farming to bring Texas-grown, fresh produce from the state’s BBQ capital.”
