About Us

Farming the Nimble Way

We grow the crispiest lettuce and most fragrant herbs no matter the season, with responsible farming practices that preserve nature’s precious resources.

We're building a network of smart indoor farms so that any community can enjoy fresh produce all year round.

Why modular farming?

Greens that actually last in your fridge.

Our greens are harvested and delivered to your favorite grocers in hours not weeks. That means better tasting salads that are also better for you.

Farming the Nimble Way

Always fresh, always clean

Nimble produce is always fresh – that’s our promise. No matter the season or weather, our local, indoor farms create the perfect conditions for healthy, delicious greens.

Growing smarter, not harder

We use proven technology to build efficient hydroponic farms that deliver fresh, reliable produce all year round.

Putting community first

We build farms and create jobs where our communities need them most by growing and distributing within 50 miles.

Our History

A Farm is Born

Founded by friends from Buffalo, NY, container farming company Ellicottville Greens is created to provide affordable, high quality produce to economically distressed zones, starting in Upstate NY.

2018
First Site Breaks Ground

Ellicottville Greens' first shipping container farm site breaks ground in Ellicottville, right outside of Buffalo, NY, to provide fresh leafy greens to local schools, hospitals and supermarkets.

2019
Fresh Funding, New Expansion

Driven by growing demand, Ellicottville Greens secures significant funding from local investor group Varia Ventures to expand farms, and acquires Vertical Fresh Farms, a leading indoor farm in Buffalo.

2021
Second Site Opens Doors

To meet demand for fresh, local food in schools, hospitals and restaurants, a new site in Olean, NY opens. In parallel, Ellicottville Greens acquires a cut basil grow operation to continue to meet demand for local herbs.

2023
First Supermarket Sales

Ellicottville Greens expands beyond wholesale, entering retail with local living lettuce and herbs now available at Dash's, Lexington Co-op, East Aurora Co-op, and more in Upstate, NY.

2023
New Name, Fresh Look

To prepare for a major expansion ahead, Ellicottville Greens changes its name to Nimble Farms, with a fresh new look to match, launching into all Tops Supermarkets and expanding to another Buffalo location.
