Company History
BrightFarms LLC is a finance, development and management business. We design, finance, build and manage the operation of BrightFarm greenhouses at or near supermarket retailers. We currently operate across the entire United States.
BrightFarms LLC was formed out of the merger of Better Food Solutions and BrightFarm Systems in January 2011.
From 2008-2010, BrightFarm Systems, operated as a commercial design consultancy providing technical services in support of rooftop greenhouses and building integrated agriculture. The company’s staff and expertise were absorbed into the new company, BrightFarms on January 1, 2011
BrightFarm Systems, in turn, grew out of New York Sun Works, a non profit organization set up in 2006, by environmental engineer and urban farming visionary Dr Ted Caplow. Its mission was the design and promotion of ecologically responsible systems, for the production of energy, water and food within the urban environment. In 2007 NYSW launched the renowned Science Barge, prototype urban farm.
