30-Acre Greenhouse
Lokal Harvest USA is developing a cutting-edge hydroponic greenhouse facility in Early Branch, South Carolina, combining advanced agricultural technology with sustainable practices to serve the Southeast market year-round. With thirty acres of greenhouse, we can produce up to twenty million pounds of tomatoes annually.
Starting with a 30-acre state-of-the-art greenhouse complex, this facility represents the future of controlled-environment agriculture. The site is strategically positioned within a Federal Opportunity Zone, just one hour from major distribution hubs in Charleston and Savannah, ensuring efficient delivery throughout the Southeast.
The facility specializes in premium tomatoes with 21 varieties, including large vine, medium vine, cherry, grape, and beefsteak tomatoes. We also offer full organic certification capacity
What Makes This Different
Water-Smart Technology: Our advanced hydroponic systems use 95% less water than traditional outdoor farming through sophisticated recirculation technology, making every drop count for long-term environmental stewardship.
Superior Productivity: Controlled-environment agriculture delivers seven times higher yield per acre compared to conventional plastic greenhouses, maximizing output while minimizing our land footprint.
Pesticide-Free Production: Through Integrated Pest Management using beneficial insects, we produce completely residue-free vegetables that exceed organic standards without any chemical interventions.
Sustainability at the Core: By growing near consumption points, we dramatically reduce “food miles” and carbon emissions, supporting corporate ESG commitments across the retail supply chain.
Growth Potential
The Early Branch site is engineered for massive scalability, with capacity to expand up to 500 acres of advanced greenhouse facilities, ensuring we can respond to market demand and continue growing alongside our retail partners.
