Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the statements herein.
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present its financial position as of September 30, 2025, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and its stockholders' deficit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025 or any future period. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

Change in Presentation
In the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has revised the presentation of operating expenses to separately present "Sales and marketing" and "General and administrative." In prior periods, these expenses were presented on a combined basis as "Selling, general and administrative."
The Company believes this updated presentation provides a more meaningful view of its cost structure and better aligns with how management evaluates financial performance and allocates resources. To facilitate comparison, amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. This change in presentation had no impact on total operating expenses, loss from operations, net loss, or loss per share for any period presented.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such indicators include, but are not limited to, significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events that indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired California-based complementary greenhouse farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Pete’s Acquisition"), which operated under the name Pete’s. As part of the acquisition, the Company recognized identifiable intangible assets, including the Pete’s trade name.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company completed the transition of the Pete’s brand to the Local Bounti brand, and the Company is no longer using the Pete’s trade name in its line of products. Because the Pete’s trade name is no longer in use, management concluded that the related trade name intangible asset's carrying value was no longer considered recoverable. Accordingly, the related trade name intangible asset was written off in full, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.7 million. The impairment charge is included in "General and administrative" expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The Company is adopting ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company’s interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
