In April 2023, Aerofarms announced that it was moving all operations from its Newark facility to its facility in Danville, Virginia, more details are at this link. With the transition to Danville complete, the assets in the Newark facility are now available for sale through this auction.
Aerofarms representatives will be onsite at the 212 Rome facility during the preview days on September 7-8 to showcase assets and assist potential bidders. Interested bidders are required to fill out the advanced viewing form on the SecondBloom Auctions website under the auction lot they are interested in. The Aerofarms team will also coordinate and oversee the asset removal by winning bidders, a process that must be concluded by September 28.
