 <\/p>\n\"\"\n

I\u2019m deeply thankful for all of the people on our team and the entire<\/u><\/strong> food, agriculture and grocery industries working hard to bring safe, fresh food to grocery shelves near you.<\/p>\n

At Gotham Greens, our mission has always been to bring our farms and fresh produce closer to people and communities across this country.\u00a0As a food production facility, we\u2019re proud to be part of the nation\u2019s vital food supply and are committed to supporting our retail, restaurant and nonprofit partners to provide nourishing food when it’s needed most.<\/p>\n

The health and safety of our employees and our customers is our top priority. Our locally grown produce and fresh food products are grown in clean greenhouses under the highest level of food safety and quality assurance programs, from seed to harvest to delivery. We are closely monitoring the rapidly changing environment and our team is in direct communication with various federal, state and local government agencies. We are continuing to follow all guidelines set forth by the world\u2019s leading public health agencies to guide our enhanced procedures and protocols. We\u2019re increasing the frequency of regularly scheduled cleanings and sanitization efforts across all of our greenhouses, as well as implementing daily health screenings and social distancing measures to keep our team safe.<\/p>\n

As a father, husband, son and business leader, I remain hopeful during this unprecedented time. Wishing you and your family health and well-being.<\/p>\n
