Bowery Farming laid off 187 workers and shut down operations in November 2024, filing for Chapter 7 liquidation after failing to secure new funding. The once $2.3B-valued company (backed by celebrities Natalie Portman and Justin Timberlake) conducted multiple layoff rounds in 2023 and closed facilities in Arkansas, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Internal documents cited a "leaf-eating pathogen" outbreak and failed acquisition talks.
