Add StudioX as a preferred source on GoogleWindset Farms has announced a new phase of expansion at its greenhouse facility in Delta, British Columbia, according to Perishable News. The project adds 38 acres of “ultra-lit” production, which is aimed at growing produce through the winter months.
The company says the investment follows its most recent expansion in Delta, which was powered by renewable hydroelectricity.
What the Delta expansion includes
The new phase adds 38 acres of ultra-lit growing space. That brings the company’s total lit cultivation area in Delta to 85 acres. Another 45 acres of conventional, non-lit greenhouse production sits alongside it.
Windset says it plans to add a further 38 acres of lit production in 2027. Once that is done, the Delta site would total 168 acres.
Construction is underway, and the first planting is scheduled for late summer 2026, the company said.
The next phase builds on the earlier expansion with:
- more advanced climate systems
- next-generation LED lighting
- renewable energy solutions
Water recycling and environmental features
The new greenhouse will also have advanced water processing and recycling, nutrient recapture and improved automated climate management. Windset says these features are meant to reduce the environmental footprint of every tomato, cucumber or pepper grown there.
Windset CEO Steven Newell said consumers want fresh produce that is affordable, sustainable and tasty. He said the company is growing closer to where people live, with less impact on the planet, while keeping the taste and consistency shoppers expect.
Winter yields for customers
Newell described the ability to grow with summer-level yields all winter as “a game changer for our customers.” He said ultra-lit production lets the company deliver taste, quality and yields at the highest levels even in the middle of winter.
Windset also draws on a broad network of partner growers in Mexico and British Columbia. It operates a 168-acre greenhouse facility in Santa Maria, California. The company says this positions it to supply customers with dependable, fresh produce.
Trade show appearance
Windset invited attendees of the Global Produce & Floral Show in Anaheim, California, on October 17-18, to learn more about the expansion and its products at booth #825.
