Edible Garden Expands Retail Footprint Amid Ongoing Profitability Challenges

Edible Garden AG announced that its USDA‑Organic herb and produce line will now be available at George’s Plants in Brooklyn, NY, and at Brooklyn Harvest Market and Associated Supermarket locations, while its product line also became available at DUMBO Market in Brooklyn and Queens and at Marrazzo’s Market in Ewing, NJ. The new retail partners bring the company’s clean‑label, locally grown products to high‑traffic urban markets.

The company reported Q3 2025 revenue of $2.8 million, a 9 % increase from the $2.6 million reported in Q3 2024, but a net loss of $4 million, double the $2.1 million loss in the same period last year. Gross margin improved to 3.2 % from 0.7 % year‑over‑year, driven by a 54 % year‑over‑year growth in its shelf‑stable product portfolio, although gross profit fell compared with the prior year.

For comparison, Q2 2025 revenue was $3.1 million, down from $4.3 million in Q2 2024, and the company posted a net loss of $4 million versus a $1.9 million loss in Q2 2024. The decline in revenue was largely due to the exit of lower‑margin categories such as floral and lettuce, while the shift toward higher‑margin shelf‑stable items has begun to offset the loss of volume.

CEO Jim Kras emphasized that the expansion into new retail partners aligns with the company’s Zero‑Waste Inspired® model and its commitment to sustainability, noting that the partnership with DUMBO Market and Marrazzo’s Market reflects a shared focus on fresh, high‑quality produce. Kras also highlighted the company’s strategic pivot to higher‑margin consumer packaged goods, stating that the move is intended to improve profitability over the long term.

Investors reacted to the earnings release with concern over the widening net losses and the continued lack of profitability, despite the revenue growth and retail expansion. The market’s focus on the company’s financial performance underscored the challenge of translating higher‑margin product mix gains into positive earnings.

While the retail expansion represents a significant operational milestone and positions Edible Garden to capture a larger share of the clean‑label, locally sourced market, the company’s ongoing profitability challenges suggest that the expansion alone will not immediately resolve its financial headwinds. The company’s future success will depend on its ability to scale the shelf‑stable product line, control costs, and achieve sustainable profitability.
