Company Highlights Operational Excellence, Available Capacity and Capital-Efficient Growth Strategy as Retailers Seek Reliable Supply Partners

Actively Adding Retail Programs While Ongoing Cost Reduction Initiatives Are Designed to Accelerate Margin Expansion

BELVIDERE, NJ, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated ("Edible Garden" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:EDBL, EDBLW)), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), organic and sustainable produce, and developer of the Zero-Waste Inspired® mission and Farm-to-Formula® platform, today reported a sharp increase in product demand from national and regional retailers seeking new and additional sources of supply for fresh herbs and organic produce. The Company has available capacity across multiple Company-owned and operated greenhouses and processing facilities, together with an established national contract grower network positioned near major U.S. markets, and the food safety and service infrastructure required by national accounts, and is actively engaged with multiple retailers regarding new and expanded programs.

The increase in demand follows a period of significant consolidation across the controlled environment agriculture sector, including the recently announced wind-down of a large indoor farming operator that supplied thousands of U.S. retail locations. As retailers affected by these disruptions move quickly to secure dependable sources of year-round supply, Edible Garden’s operational discipline and ability to deliver on time and in full have become increasingly important competitive advantages. The Company has benefited from similar market disruptions before: in reporting its 2025 annual results, Edible Garden disclosed that cut herb unit sales increased approximately 22.9% year over year, driven in part by incremental volume resulting from supply chain disruptions among competing herb suppliers.
