Fresher will taste better.”īrightFarms broke ground in 2017 on a 160,000-square-foot greenhouse in Wilmington, expected to produce a million pounds of fresh salad greens, herbs and tomatoes each year. Think about it: taste and freshness go hand in hand. “Our local produce is considered fresher and tastier, since it reduces the time, distance and cost typically associated with long-distance produce. “A greenhouse allows production year round with use of the sun for growing as well as solar radiation for heating,” says Nick Chaney, Ohio native and head grower for one of BrightFarms’ greenhouse locations. Technology, coupled with sustainable practices, enable Ohio’s greenhouses to supply consumers with fresh and locally grown produce, even during the winter months.

Thanks to innovative greenhouse technology pioneered by companies with locations in Ohio, a defining taste of summer is available all year.
