An Eden Green greenhouse has stacks of lettuce
Eden Green grows staples like lettuce and cooking greens in large greenhouses in Cleburne, Texas.
  • Eden Green uses high-tech systems to grow greens indoors and reduce the unpredictability of farming.
  • The company also aims to draw workers by offering health insurance, paid leave, and a 401(k).
  • By moving agriculture closer to urban centers, it can find workers and distribute food more easily.

The first time Stacia Lewis stepped into the massive greenhouse with 18-foot-high walls of romaine and butterhead lettuce, they knew they had to work there. 

"It was just like I'm walking into Willy Wonka's factory or something," Lewis told Business Insider. "It looked like everything I had ever wanted."
