At Local Bounti, we strive to deliver the freshest, locally grown produce to your neighborhood. We sustainably grow fresh, non-GMO greens 365 days a year in our greenhouses, using 90% less water and 90% less land than conventional agriculture.
Perfect environmental greenhouse conditions ensure the highest possible nutritional value and taste. Our sustainable, root-on, living products result in less environmental impacts, carbon footprint, and less waste. It’s our goal to bring our farm to your kitchen.
FACTS WE LIVE BY:
LOCAL IS BEST.
Your produce is rarely grown locally, but we are changing that. We strive to make the distance between our farm and your kitchen as short as possible. Growing local delivers sustainable markets, products, and partnerships to benefit our communities and our world. We believe local is the best kind of business.
HAPPY PLANTS = HAPPY TASTE BUDS.
We love happy plants. Our plants are kept in the perfect environment from seed to packaging, and our living products keep our produce fresh and delicious for weeks. The result? Happy taste buds. You will taste and smell the difference. We bring the farmers’ market to your neighborhood regardless of season and location.
IT’S TIME TO RE-IMAGINE FRESHNESS.
Most produce spends weeks in transport on the way to your kitchen. We believe there is a better way. Local Bounti re-imagines “fresh” through our local, sustainable farming with a 365-day growing season and a wide variety of living products. When our produce hits your plate, you will experience a new standard of freshness.
PIONEERING THE EXTRAORDINARY.
At Local Bounti, we are pioneering a new path and breaking new ground, literally. We embrace challenges to the status quo and don’t take no for an answer. We face challenges with grit, determination, and obsession but radiate humility. Together, we are capable of extraordinary things.

WE ARE CHANGING THE WAY PEOPLE BUY AND SELL HOMES
Over the last 20 years, the Internet has changed the way we live, from booking travel to watching movies, and from paying taxes to banking. Online transactions are faster, cheaper to execute, more convenient, and generally more secure. Residential real estate, by contrast, remains stuck in a high-cost business model that pre-dates the Internet and remains stubbornly resistant to change. Harnessed properly, technology can help a lot – already, nearly 90% of consumers looking for a home go to sites like Zillow or Google to find and eventually select the properties that best suit their needs.
We created REX in 2015 to bring residential real estate into line with today’s expectations by using AI and big data to push past the outmoded practices of traditional real estate brokers to provide a superior outcome for both buyers and sellers at one-third the cost. So how does REX do it? We use data modeling and machine learning to match sellers and buyers of homes as accurately and speedily as possible on Zillow, Google, Facebook, and more. And by doing that, we can reduce costs for all involved - REX covers both sides of the transaction instead of the 5-6% charged by traditional brokers.
Unlike traditional brokers, REX licensed agents are salaried and incentivized to satisfy customers rather than to just close transactions in pursuit of a fast commission. Our team partners with sellers and buyers from listing to close, and shares with them the information they need via an easy-to-use web dashboard. REX is uniquely designed to simplify all of the moving parts, helping consumers with escrow, titling, service connections, mortgage and insurance shopping and keeps securely in the hands of the buyers and sellers all of the data related to the home and legal and financial information related to the transactions.
