Cox Enterprises announces the launch of Cox Farms, a new business focused on sustainable food and agriculture. Cox Farms represents a commitment to future-proofing the world of produce and further enhancing the company’s more than $2 billion investment in sustainable businesses and technologies.
Today, Cox Farms includes indoor farming companies Mucci Farms and BrightFarms, and it will continue to pursue additional ventures and investments in the indoor agriculture space.

Cox Enterprises, a multigenerational family-owned business, has a long history in agriculture dating back 125 years when Ohio farmer-turned-entrepreneur James M. Cox planted the seeds for Cox Enterprises. Today, the company is pioneering the food supply chain revolution through the development of a multinational network of indoor farms. With Mucci Farms and BrightFarms in its growing portfolio, Cox Farms is one of the largest greenhouse operators in North America, harvesting 360 million pounds of produce annually.
“As multigenerational family businesses rooted in a passion for growing fresh produce, we are thrilled to be part of the Cox Farms family as we embark on a partnership fueled by shared values and a collective vision for the future of farming,” says Bert Mucci, CEO and Managing Partner at Mucci Farms.
Cox Farms is setting a new standard in quality, breaking yield records year-round, and serving the biggest names in retail across thousands of stores.
“BrightFarms is pioneering the future of sustainable agriculture with our advanced indoor farming methods, focusing on producing the freshest, most sustainable leafy greens locally,” says Steve Platt, CEO of BrightFarms. “Together, we are poised to accelerate and expand our mission, leveraging shared resources and vision to build operation capacity that will make healthy, locally-grown food more accessible while caring for our planet.”
According to the company, Cox Farms has revenues approaching $1 billion and a workforce comprising nearly 2,500 employees.
