BELVIDERE, NJ, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, sustainable produce and products, today announced that it will showcase its innovative USDA Certified Organic Hydroponic Basil at the Global Produce & Floral Show, taking place October 16–18, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

This launch perfectly aligns with our Zero-Waste Inspired® mission and further establishes Edible Garden as a leader in controlled environment agriculture. Most importantly, it offers today’s health-conscious, environmentally aware consumers a cleaner, better-for-you choice that embodies sustainability, innovation, and flavor.”
