80 Acres Farms Files Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, Ceases Operations
80 Acres Farms, a major produce supplier for retailers like Walmart and Safeway, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and is winding down operations in the Cleveland-Akron (Canton) area.
Cleveland Akron, OH, August 27, 2026 —
80 Acres Farms, identified as a significant supplier of produce to major retail chains including Walmart and Safeway, has initiated proceedings for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The company is currently in the process of winding down its operations. The specific geographical area affected by this closure is the Cleveland-Akron (Canton) region.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically involves the liquidation of a company’s assets to pay off creditors. This filing indicates a cessation of business activities rather than a reorganization, as is common with Chapter 11 filings.
Further details regarding the timeline of the winding-down process, the exact impact on suppliers and employees, or the specific reasons leading to the bankruptcy filing were not immediately available. The company’s role as a produce supplier suggests potential implications for the supply chains of its retail partners, such as Walmart and Safeway, particularly within the affected operational region.
