Summary

Ohio-based indoor farming company 80 Acres Farms announced it will cease operations at its 3315 Global Way facility in the Brooks area of San Antonio and lay off all 166 workers there after a prospective acquisition fell through on Aug. 2, 2026. The company sent a notice to the Texas Workforce Commission on Aug. 3 saying layoffs were planned between Aug. 3 and Aug. 17, with the closure driven by the withdrawal of funding from the would-be acquirer. More than one-third of the affected workers were produce packers and about 20% were machine operators or sanitation workers. Brooks Development Authority and the facility owner, the Decennial Group, said they are coordinating workforce and property transition support as 80 Acres Farms winds down operations.
