Oishii expands berry distribution to East Coast farmers markets

Oishii, a vertical farming company, will distribute its Omakase and Koyo berries at East Coast farmers markets from July 21-Sept. 1.

The expansion brings the Omakase and Koyo berries to markets in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, D.C.

“We’re excited to join these vibrant local food communities,” said Rita Hudetz, chief commercial officer at Oishii. “Oishii may be the future of farming, but we are still a farm.”

Grown in indoor vertical farms, Oishii’s berries are pesticide-free, non-GMO and available year-round. A tray of Omakase berries costs $11.99, while Koyo berries are $9.99.

The move follows Oishii’s growth, including a $134 million Series B funding in February and the opening of their largest farm in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, in June. This new facility enhances production capacity by over 20 times using advanced AI and robotics.

Information on farm market locations is available online.
