The top fresh produce greenhouse growers in the U.S.

The top fresh produce greenhouse growers in the U.S.

The controlled-environment segment in the fresh produce industry is growing rapidly, with new greenhouse growers entering the industry and long-standing growers expanding their operations. Greenhouse Grower's inaugural list of the top greenhouse operations growing produce for the fresh market stands at 14 operations growing in the U.S. The total U.S. square footage for greenhouse operations one to 14 equals 41,568,620 square feet.

Rankings are based on known square footage of sites with operating greenhouses in the U.S.

Please note that identifying and ranking the largest greenhouse fresh-market vegetable growers in North America proved a difficult task for a multitude of reasons. Many projects and expansions occur under the radar, and the speed at which growers are scaling up and expanding is difficult to stay apprised of. Having culled this list from various industry media reports and web-based data sources, we'd love to hear from you if you find something incorrect on this list. Additionally, we would like to eventually compile a Top 100 list of greenhouse operations growing fresh-market vegetables based on square footage of environmentally controlled space. If you feel you should be on this list, please email jwright@meistermedia.com to submit a correction or information about your facility.
