February 24, 2025 — Momentum is building at Haven Greens BB #:408514 as the company announces the opening of phase one of Canada’s first fully automated leafy greens greenhouse, marking a major step toward full-scale production.
With cutting-edge technology now online, this groundbreaking facility is poised to deliver a stable, year-round supply of fresh, pesticide-free leafy greens to Canadians.
Since first announcing the launch of Haven Greens, the excitement surrounding this state-of-the-art greenhouse has only grown. Now, as systems are being tested and optimized, the vision of a more sustainable and locally driven fresh produce industry is becoming a reality.
Designed for precision, efficiency, and consistency, the first 5-acre phase of the advanced 10-acre facility utilizes climate-controlled automation to cultivate leafy greens without human contact—ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and freshness from seed to harvest.
“At this stage, it’s all about fine-tuning our processes and ensuring everything runs seamlessly,” says CEO Jay Willmot. “We’ve built this greenhouse with stability and reliability at its core, and now, as we commission our systems, we’re seeing just how transformative this approach to growing can be.”
Implementing a Green Automation mobile gulley cultivation system in partnership with the Atrium Agri Group, Haven Greens offers a dependable supply of high-quality greens, unaffected by unpredictable weather.
This controlled approach to cultivation ensures optimal growth conditions for its initial lineup—Baby Green Leaf, Baby Red + Green Leaf, and Baby Spring Mix—all designed to stay fresher for longer.
The commissioning process represents the final step before Haven Greens’ produce reaches the market. As the facility continues its phased rollout, the company remains focused on delivering not just superior greens, but also a sustainable and scalable solution for Canada’s fresh produce industry.
Haven Greens is more than just a greenhouse—it’s a glimpse into the future of farming, where innovation meets reliability to create a healthier, more sustainable food system. With production now in motion, Canadians will soon experience the benefits of cleaner, fresher, and locally grown greens, available year-round.
