Azure Farms Plans South Point, Ohio, Production Operations
06/12/2025
The company’s new distribution and greenhouse facility will reduce shipping times and cut fuel usage.
“This move to Ohio represents more than a geographic expansion—it’s a commitment to serve our East Coast customers with greater speed, sustainability, and freshness,” said David Stelzer, founder and CEO of Azure Standard. “At Azure, we believe that food is foundational to health. That belief drives everything we do—from how we farm to how we distribute. This new location brings us closer to the people we serve and strengthens our ability to steward healthy living from the soil to the table.”
The project is being supported by a 1.626 percent, nine-year Job Creation Tax Credit approved by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority.
“Azure Standard’s decision to choose Ohio for its newest operations underscores the importance of having site inventory to make it easy for companies to choose Ohio and invest rapidly,” JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef noted. “The project attracts Azure from the West Coast and brings new jobs to South Point, where Azure will have an ideal location to produce and distribute its organic food products for its customers nationwide.”
Azure Farms focuses on farming and distributing organic and natural foods and raises livestock, including Piedmontese cattle and pasture-raised chickens. The company is also known for Azure Standard, its distribution arm.
“This is a significant project for Lawrence County and our community,” added Bill Dingus, Executive Director of the Lawrence County Economic Development. “We’re thrilled that Azure has chosen to locate in South Point, this is an impressive, growing company with a nationwide customer base. We look forward to supporting Azure’s growth and success here in southern Ohio.”
