Red Sun Farms, a vertically integrated greenhouse grower with locations in Canada, USA and Mexico, is making a significant investment in its facilities.
In 2020, Red Sun Farms completed 27 acres of construction on a three-phase project totaling 63.8 acres in Kingsville, Ontario.
Red Sun is making significant investments in its Texas and Ontario facilities.
Additionally, a second investment for Red Sun Farms included 18 acres of high-tech greenhouse farming, expanding Red Sun Farms' overall portfolio for this location to 42 acres. Mexico successfully completed a 25-acre expansion prior to its winter crop.
This year, Red Sun Farms Mexico is on track to deliver an additional 35 acres for the 2021 winter season.
