Intergrow Greenhouses building new facility in Western New York

Intergrow Greenhouses announces construction plans of a new greenhouse facility in Western New York. Located in Monroe County in the town of Webster, the 3 phase expansion could encompass approximately 75 acres of greenhouse under glass, bringing Intergrow's total acreage to 150 acres in New York state. Similar to Intergrow's existing greenhouses in Albion and Fillmore NY, the new facility will include grow lights for winter production, and a new packing house. The new expansion will allow Intergrow to provide more locally grown produce to the Northeast region's growing demand for year-round production, according to the company.

Phase 1 construction includes 25 acres of greenhouse and is scheduled to be complete in 2017. The additional acreage will allow Intergrow to increase its distribution and expand on its current product line of Tomatoes On the Vine, Beefsteak tomatoes, and Cherry tomatoes. The new greenhouse facility will reportedly bring new employment to the area with 50 jobs in phase 1, and additional positions as future phases are completed.

"We continue to see a growing demand for locally grown, year round produce from customers. Food safety and traceability is very important and our customers value the locally grown produce and service we provide," said Kris Gibson - Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
