Just months after announcing a partnership with Feeding America, Cox Farms, a Cox Enterprises company and the largest greenhouse operator in North America, has donated over 1 million pounds of fresh, greenhouse-grown produce to families facing hunger. This milestone underscores the power of indoor agriculture to deliver nutritious, year-round food access at scale.

The partnership with Feeding America emphasizes donations of high-quality, perishable produce – including lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, and peppers – that delivers vital daily nutrition to families facing food insecurity. Each delivery provides nourishment that supports long-term health and well-being.

"From the beginning of this partnership, our goal has been to deliver healthy fruits and vegetables that bring real nourishment to the table. Because this isn't just about feeding people. It's about helping them thrive," said Steve Bradley, president of Cox Farms. "We're proud of the momentum we've built with Feeding America, and we're just getting started."

Growing a Better Future with Indoor Agriculture

The collaboration, first announced in January 2025, builds on Feeding America's deep national reach and Cox Farms' ability to grow produce year-round using innovative, sustainable greenhouse practices. Cox Farms has committed to supply 3 million pounds of annual produce donations to the organization through local food banks.

With over 700 acres of greenhouse space and an annual harvest of more than 450 million pounds, Cox Farms is uniquely positioned to supply consistent, high-quality produce to the Feeding America network of more than 200 food banks and 60,000 partner organizations.

"Everyone needs nutritious food to thrive, and in every community in America, people are working hard to provide for themselves and their families. Yet 47.4 million people—1 in 7 people—experience food insecurity in the U.S. " said Dru Montri, Vice President of Agri Food Engagement at Feeding America. "Together with Cox Farms, we are committed to working alongside people facing hunger to make sure everyone has nutritious food for health and wellbeing."
