This asset covers over 28 deeded acres across its three locations and includes processing plants and storage warehouses, fully operational greenhouses, full staffing to run the daily operations, and all operating equipment to continue and grow the multi-faceted operation. Additional business components include a wholesale greenhouse operation that provides native plant species to landscapers and government contractors and also a dedicated feed pelletizing operation.
The cornerstone of the business model is cleaning and distribution to the wholesale market of Kentucky Bluegrass seed. There are several proprietary grass seed varieties and blends that the company has exclusive, protected rights to. This seed processing asset has a total of five seed cleaning lines that are operated year-round and each location is also capable of pelletizing the bi-product materials, created during the cleaning process, into forage pellets for livestock feed. At the Worley, ID location, an additional income stream is created by a dedicated alfalfa pelletizing operation.
