Sensei Ag recently acquired a 283,000-square-foot greenhouse and research facility on 26 acres of land in Lockhart, Texas. This investment marks a significant milestone in the company’s plans to deliver fresh, greenhouse-grown produce to consumers across the U.S. 

“Texas has a rich, unique history in both agriculture and technology, making it a great choice for us,” said Dave Douglas, CEO at Sensei Ag. “We look forward to being part of the local economy in Lockhart as an employer and producer of fresh produce.” 

Construction is already underway, which includes an existing structure that will be outfitted with Sensei Ag’s proprietary growing technology. The upcoming facility is designed to grow leafy greens under the Sensei Farms brand, while optimizing resource efficiency and crop performance. The site also includes open land for future expansion that will be used to grow a wide variety of other fruits and vegetables. 

“The City of Lockhart is a prime location for our expanding business,” said Theuns Roux, SVP of Finance, Supply Chain, and Strategy at Sensei Ag. “We appreciate the Lockhart Economic Development Corporation (EDC) fostering a business environment that attracts innovation and investment in the region. The result will be cutting-edge opportunities in indoor farming to bring Texas-grown, fresh produce from the state’s BBQ capital.”
