Our Story
At Great Lakes Greenhouses, we've been cultivating high-quality food for future generations since 1983. Our journey began with a modest five-acre plot in Leamington, Ontario, and has since grown into one of the largest cucumber growers in North America. As a family-run business, we've remained committed to innovation, quality, and a passion for growing the best produce for our customers.
Our Products
We take pride in our extensive range of fresh and healthy produce, including:
- Cucumbers: Crunchy, hydrating, and great tasting, our certified Non-GMO cucumbers make for a refreshing and healthy addition to all of your salads, sandwiches, and smoothies.
- Peppers: Sweet with a burst of color and nutrients in every bite, our organic bell peppers are firm in texture and bring a sweet spin to your plate whether used in stir-fries or salads, and they're also excellent for stuffing and roasting.
- Eggplant: Vibrant, rich, and nutrient-packed; a perfect addition to any recipe. Our organic mini eggplants pack a smooth and rich taste, making them a versatile and flavourful ingredient in meals.
- Tomatoes: Optimised ripening for premium firmness and exceptional taste. Our organic tomatoes when left on the vine can ripen to perfection, making them a vibrant red in profile and sweeter in taste.
