North America's largest cannabis growers for 2021
Added on 24 January 2021
Many of our 2021 Top Growers produce cannabis in a traditional greenhouse during some aspect of production, leveraging each production setting (outdoor, greenhouse, or warehouse growing) throughout the year.
According to the data, the largest North American grower producing cannabis exclusively in a greenhouse is Arizona's Copperstate Farms at nearly 2 million square feet, while Glass House Farms in Santa Barbara, CA, is reportedly the largest cannabis greenhouse in the Golden State currently with two structures coming in at a combined 500,000 square feet.

Its location in Snowflake, AZ, about three hours from Phoenix, is positioned ideally atop the Colorado Plateau at 5,600 feet above sea level. In 2016, Copperstate Farms acquired the Snowflake assets from NatureSweet. Since then, it has been on a rapid growth plan, which has actually helped the company lower its production by maximizing efficiency and improving its return on investment. "We believe with the right infrastructure, the right processes, and the right beneficial ingredients paired with a strong Integrated Pest Management Program, we can create greenhouse grows equal to fully controlled-environment indoor production," says Copperstate CEO Pankaj Talwar. "Long term, we believe growing in this fashion is more sustainable, and that the sun is the best light source to allow the plant to express its fullest potential."
