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.
We grow the crispiest lettuce and most fragrant herbs no matter the season, with responsible farming practices that preserve nature’s precious resources.
With our climate-controlled protected environments, we get consistent yields and clean, high-quality produce no matter the weather.
Farming vertically maximizes space so we can grow more food using less land. Our closed loop system recycles nutrients and water so we can preserve precious resources.
Our modular farms allow us to scale up or down to fit a community’s needs. Easily placed in urban or rural settings, we can grow hundreds of different crops anywhere, anytime.
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.
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.
We use proven technology to build efficient hydroponic farms that deliver fresh, reliable produce all year round.
We build farms and create jobs where our communities need them most by growing and distributing within 50 miles.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whether you’re in a big city or a small town, we’re sprouting modular farms that can grow produce no matter the season, close to your favorite grocers.
