National Design-Build Firm to Oversee Construction of Company's Planned Prairie Hills Ready-to-Drink Manufacturing Facility Latest Milestone Continues Disciplined Execution of Farm-to-Formula® Strategy and Accelerates Development of Scalable Clean Nutrition Platform BELVIDERE, NJ, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated ("Edible Garden" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic and sustainable produce and products, today announced that it has engaged E2 Building Group ("E2"), a national design-build construction and general contracting firm, to oversee construction of the Company's planned Prairie Hills ready-to-drink ("RTD") manufacturing facility in Webster City, Iowa. The engagement marks another significant milestone in the Company's previously announced strategy to transform its approximately 400,000-square-foot Prairie Hills facility into a large-scale clean nutrition manufacturing hub supporting its Farm-to-Formula® platform. With facility planning and design well underway, the project is now progressing into the construction phase. E2 will provide preconstruction services, construction management and design-build execution, coordinating contractors and project activities as Edible Garden advances development of the facility toward commercial production. E2 Building Group is a nationally recognized design-build, construction management and general contracting firm with extensive experience delivering manufacturing, food and beverage, industrial, warehouse, distribution and controlled environment agriculture facilities throughout the United States. Through its integrated project delivery approach, E2 works collaboratively with owners, architects, engineers and specialty vendors to streamline project execution, improve cost certainty and accelerate project delivery. The firm's experience managing complex manufacturing and food production facilities is expected to support the efficient execution of Edible Garden's Prairie Hills development. "We are pleased to welcome E2 Building Group to our growing team of project partners as we continue advancing our Prairie Hills development," said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. "Over the past several months, we have systematically advanced this project by assembling an experienced team of industry-leading partners, completing key design and planning milestones, and securing significant state and local support. The engagement of E2 marks another important step as we transition from planning into the construction phase. With E2 now leading the buildout, we have assembled the core development team responsible for designing, constructing and equipping the Prairie Hills facility. As the project advances, our focus will increasingly shift toward construction, equipment installation, commissioning activities, and commercial production readiness. We remain focused on developing a world-class manufacturing platform that we believe will position Edible Garden for long-term growth within the rapidly expanding clean nutrition and ready-to-drink markets."
