Yeah, I'm not that familiar with the Hudson Valley school, but one hypothesis would be that they saw the impressionist paintings from London and Paris (which were indeed polluted), and imitated the style.

Maybe there wasn’t as much air pollution in the Hudson River Valley? Article isn’t saying that they set out to document air pollution, but rather when those painters looked out the window, what they saw was a deeply hazy landscape, and that influenced their paintings.

The word 'ancient' has certain meanings in the English language, and 150 years old isn't ancient.

Reflecting on this, I bet it’s the USD-Peso exchange rate that did them in. Their competitors’ lettuce got 30% cheaper while their own lettuce got (via wage / input cost inflation) more expensive.

I see, thanks. I always have a certain fascination with failed start ups, but sadly the answer is usually as simple as “ not enough people were willing to buy what they were selling“.
Here, I’m a little shocked that they thought salad kits was ever going to bring in enough money to cover major investments. Like, a Mexican farm plus a freezer truck is always going to be cheaper than you. That’s just the way it is
And yeah, if they got 75 million in funding they could’ve paid you the market rate.

Any observations about their business practices? I am seeing a few posts here implying they weren’t a very well run company
