Low ratio high output
Greenhouses only take up 0.01% of BC's farmland but produce
11% of BC's total agriculture production.
Our skilled growers have turned science into art. They give our
plants exactly what they need –the perfect climate, the right
amount of light, the right amount of nutrition, exact amounts
of water and carbon dioxide and the proper ventilation.
The cooling ocean breezes and many hours of sunlight make the southern coast of British Columbia the perfect region in the world for greenhouse vegetable production.
Take a step into one of our glass greenhouses and you will find it is an oasis.
Less pesticide use
There are relatively few pesticides registered in Canada, and even fewer are used in greenhouse vegetable growing. Because our greenhouse growers use Integrated Pest Management programs, they use many different methods to control plant diseases and insect pests.
Only as a last resort do our growers use a chemical pesticide that is registered for the specific pest they must combat.
Our greenhouse environment gives our vegetable plants protection against many pests that can attack outdoor crops. Our growers’ reliance on biological controls means they are very reluctant to use chemical pesticides. They want to keep good bugs working, rather than
disrupt them with chemical pesticides.
Our growers pride themselves in producing safe and healthy food for consumers and their own families and farming in harmony with the environment.
More safe food
Independent food safety audits are performed on both crop production and packing areas in our greenhouses. These audits require our growers to develop and implement extensive food safety plans.
Our growers take special care to ensure that water storage, water purity, sanitation of harvesting tools, and the storage of food –along with many other items exceed food safety expectations.
Our staff follows strict food safety and food handling guidelines. Each greenhouse has strict policies that deal with employee hygiene andfood safety training.
We are committed to growing safe and healthy food for your family and ours.
Job opportunities
We provide year-round jobs and support community businesses.
Because greenhouse growing has a long harvesting season, our growers can provide virtually year-round, quality jobs.
We take great care in providing a safe working environment. Our workers are trained in food safety and take pride in bringing fresh, healthy food to your table.
