Renewable Energy, Right Here on Our Farm
Our 1-megawatt solar energy system helps power our 35 acres of greenhouse production, allowing us to generate renewable energy right here on our farm.
By harnessing the power of the sun, we are reducing our reliance on conventional energy sources and taking meaningful steps toward lowering the carbon footprint of our operation.
Year-Round Growing
Clean Power for Every Season
Greenhouse production requires energy year-round to create the ideal growing environment for our crops. Our solar system helps offset a portion of that energy demand with clean, renewable power. This not only supports our day-to-day operations, but also helps us reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the energy we use.
A Cleaner
Brighter Future
Our Approach
For us, sustainability is about finding practical ways to produce fresh, high-quality food while being mindful of our impact on the environment.
Investing in solar energy is one of the ways we are working to reduce our carbon footprint and build a more sustainable farming operation for the future.
We are proud to combine modern greenhouse technology with renewable energy to continue growing fresh produce right here in Ontario.
