Permanent operates a marketplace that helps large commercial buyers discover, order, and onboard farms that use regenerative practices or are owned by women or people of color. The platform launched in 2023 and layers AI to predict seasonality and how produce will integrate with existing distribution and supply chains. Permanent also facilitates custom growing contracts for buyers and plans to add financial features like lending and cash-flow management in the future. Since launch the company has worked with 60 farms in California (half owned by women or people of color) and landed 20 commercial customers, including Sweetgreen and Kettle & Fire, plus school districts and universities. The company is focused largely on the West Coast, especially California, and aims to expand its supply chain nationally by 2027.
