This year, we were able to visit a couple of very nice high tech greenhouse vegetable growers; Golden Acre Farms and Mucci Farms, and learn all the ins and outs of their adaptation of advanced greenhouse technology.
Besides seeing the TOV's at Mucci and the high wire cucumbers at Golden Acre, the group also visited the retail outlet of H&A Farms at Anna's Farms in Leamington, plus a complete lunch was enjoyed at Colasanti's tropical Garden.
Furthermore, the group visited the Greenhouse and Processing Crops Research Centre in Harrow, where some interesting developments are going on in the field of lit high wire cucumber cultivation and the side-effect on beneficials when using LED light in greenhouse cultivation. A visit to the new research greenhouse at Vineland's Research & Innovation Centre in Jordan rounded off the full day tour.
Over the coming week, you can read our full reports on the visits. Today and tomorrow we will be present at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference, which takes place at the Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls. A complete recap from this show will be published in our edition on Monday.
