Great Lakes Greenhouses Inc.
Introduction:
In the heart of Leamington, Ontario, a small 2.5-acre greenhouse operation was born in 1983. Founded by Paul Dyck, Great Lakes Greenhouses had humble beginnings, but a vision for greatness. Today, that vision has grown into a staggering 118-acre farm. (https://youtu.be/XKmRR5iTEbw)
The Path to Success:
Over the past 40 years, our founder's determination and dedication have driven the expansion of our farm, growing from 2.5 eventually to 118 acres. This journey has been marked by a commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We take pride in specializing in long English seedless cucumbers, mini cucumbers and Organic peppers, which has cemented our position as a leader in the industry.
Our Operations Today:
Our farm is a testament to our growth and diversification. By propagating our own plants, we ensure the highest level of quality, delivering fresh produce to our customers within 12-24 hours of harvesting. Our rigorous food safety and organic certification program, certified by Primus, EcoCert, Pro-Cert, and USDA, is supported by maintaining all aspects of our growing, packing, and shipping processes under one roof.
What Sets Us Apart:
At Great Lakes Greenhouses, we're more than just a farm – we're a family-owned and operated business dedicated to delivering exceptional quality and service. Our story is one of innovation, hard work, and a passion for providing the best products to our customers. We believe that our commitment to quality, combined with our efficient operations and rigorous food safety standards, sets us apart from others in the industry. Family owned and operated allows us to be extremely nimble in our operation. Our partners expressed an urgent need for organic peppers. We swiftly transferred our organic crop from both tomatoes and peppers to only peppers. This ensured our partners had exceptional quality along with a commodity that was globally limited.
Conclusion:
From humble beginnings to global recognition, Great Lakes Greenhouses is proud to be family-owned and operated. We look forward to continuing to grow, innovate, and serve our partners with the same dedication and commitment to quality that has driven our success for over forty years.
