Windset Farms starts planting at new 38-acre ultra-lit greenhouse in Delta, British Columbia
Windset Farms is kicking off the planting at its new 38-acre ultra-lit greenhouse in Delta, British Columbia, marking another milestone in the company's continued investment in controlled-environment agriculture.
The new ultra-lit greenhouse expands the firm's Delta operation to 130 acres, including 86 acres of ultra-lit greenhouse production, making it the largest lit-vegetable greenhouse facility in Western North America. The additional capacity enhances the company's ability to provide customers with a year-round supply of premium greenhouse-grown vegetables.
With the addition of this new infrastructure, the producer leader now owns and operates 298 acres of greenhouse production across Canada and the United States. Together with trusted grower partners in Canada, the United States and Mexico, the company continues to expand its North American greenhouse platform, supplying tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and specialty greenhouse vegetables.
"Planting is one of the most exciting moments in any greenhouse project," said Steven Newell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Windset Farms. "It represents the transition from vision to production and reflects our continued commitment to investing in our business, our people and our customers."
Windset Farms sets the bar in greenhouse innovation
Purpose-built for year-round production, the new ultra-lit greenhouse incorporates advanced growing technology designed to optimize crop performance, improve operational efficiency and support consistent production.
The technology is designed to deliver the best possible flavor while reducing our environmental impact, reflecting the company's commitment to sustainable, high-quality growing.
"This investment reflects our long-term commitment to the greenhouse industry and to the customers we proudly serve," added Newell. "As our platform continues to grow, so does our ability to deliver premium quality, flavor, consistency, service and year-round supply our customers expect from Windset Farms."
The first crops are expected to begin harvesting in the coming weeks. This adds to the firm's growing footprint, with further expansion on the horizon.
