Greenhouse produce grower Windset Farms® announces its latest expansion, providing year-round lit greenhouse production at scale in Delta, British Columbia, for Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. This expansion, along with enhancements to existing infrastructure, numerous technological advancements, and sustainability initiatives, will be completed by spring 2024.
Currently, Windset Farms Santa Maria, a California greenhouse facility, is the largest operating single-site greenhouse vegetable facility in the United States.
Windset's Delta, B.C. facility.
"In 2024, our Delta greenhouse facility will become the largest operating lit greenhouse vegetable facility in Western North America, utilizing renewable hydroelectric power," says John Newell, COO. "Windset's sustainably produced greenhouse vegetables will now be available year-round across all production sites."
"Since 1996, Windset has expanded exponentially to produce and market over 2,500 acres of CEA facilities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico," says president and CEO Steven Newell. "We will be the only greenhouse producer and marketer growing year-round from British Columbia, California, and Mexico. This lit expansion will further enhance our reputation for fulfillment with locally grown, high quality, ultra-fresh produce to our retail partners in Canada, the United States, and Asia."
With exclusive seed rights, an award-winning product portfolio, and brand recognition, the grower-shipper has experienced significant growth. Its strategic proximity to the market makes its produce accessible to over 125 million consumers within a 24-hour drive of its production and distribution facilities, serving the Western North American market and beyond.

Year-round production of greenhouse-grown products from three growing regions reduces carbon emissions by limiting the need for long-distance transportation. This sustainable lit production ensures a steady produce supply, irrespective of seasonal fluctuations. Furthermore, it generates new employment opportunities for the local community.
In conjunction with this expansion, Windset Farms has been preparing product launches for the IFPA Global Produce and Floral Show in Anaheim, California, complemented by a newly redesigned booth. The company invites attendees to visit booth #659.
