BELVIDERE, NJ, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leading provider of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) solutions and sustainable, locally grown organic produce, today announced that Woodman’s Markets is now carrying Pickle Party™, the Company’s line of fresh, fermented, Kosher, and Non-GMO pickles and krauts. The launch further expands Edible Garden’s presence in the Midwest and provides increased consumer access to clean-label, functional food options in high-traffic regional grocery destinations.

Woodman’s Markets is a Midwest-based grocery retailer operating twenty large-format stores across Wisconsin and Illinois, with locations averaging approximately 230,000 square feet and operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Known for its expansive assortment, value-driven pricing, and high customer traffic, Woodman’s serves as a destination retailer for shoppers seeking both everyday staples and differentiated specialty food products. The addition of Pickle Party builds on Edible Garden’s existing relationship with Woodman’s and reflects the retailer’s continued focus on offering distinctive, high-quality, better-for-you brands.

Pickle Party is Edible Garden’s entry into the fresh condiments category and is positioned as the world’s first functional pickle line. Crafted in partnership with the Hermann Pickle Company, Pickle Party products are raw, refrigerated, fermented, Kosher, and Non-GMO, and are made using traditional fermentation methods associated with digestive wellness. The line includes a variety of pickles and krauts with flavor profiles ranging from classic dill and garlic to spicy and globally inspired varieties. Free from artificial preservatives, stabilizers, and added sugars, Pickle Party aligns with Edible Garden’s commitment to clean-label, better-for-you foods while delivering bold flavor and crisp texture.

“Woodman’s is known for giving customers access to products they can’t easily find elsewhere, and Pickle Party fits squarely into that philosophy,” said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. “Their scale, around-the-clock operations, and loyal shopper base create an environment where fresh, refrigerated brands can perform well when execution and quality are consistent. Introducing Pickle Party at Woodman’s supports our broader strategy of expanding our value-added, clean-label food portfolio while leveraging disciplined supply chain execution and established retail relationships to drive sustainable growth. As retailers look to differentiate with function-forward products, we believe Pickle Party is well positioned to perform alongside our core produce offerings.”
