Springworks Farms' Lisbon headquarters for sale

MAINE PUBLIC • September 29, 2026

Springworks Farm, a major regional producer of greenhouse grown lettuce, has shuttered and is selling its sprawling Lisbon headquarters. Broker Mike Carey said in a press release that the 168-acre campus including greenhouses, support buildings and a farmhouse will be sold in a "lender-ordered" auction in mid-October. Springworks was founded in 2014 as an aquaponic farm that grew lettuce and fish with a recirculating indoor water system. The company said its method significantly reduced resource inputs while allowing it to grow greens all year round. Its customers included Hannaford and Whole Foods supermarkets. According to its website Springworks could grow five million heads of lettuce and 160 metric tons of tilapia a year.
