Building a Sustainable Future in Agriculture

KUBO Greenhouse Projects has  joined forces with Windset Farms, one of North America’s leading producers of greenhouse-grown vegetables, to inaugurate a new 24-acre greenhouse facility in Delta, BC, Canada. This collaboration is not new; previously, KUBO constructed the world’s largest Ultra-Clima greenhouse for Windset Farms in Santa Maria, California, a testament to both companies’ dedication to innovation and sustainable agriculture.

Innovation at the Core

The Delta facility stands out as the largest LED lit greenhouse in Western North America. It is equipped with dual climate curtains, Ventilation Jet fans, dimmable LED light fixtures, and thermal screens, all designed to optimize energy use and reduce environmental impact. The facility will harness renewable hydroelectric power and biomass boilers to produce tomatoes and cucumbers all year round, catering to markets in Western Canada, the US, and Asia.

A Model of Efficiency and Sustainability

The swift construction of the Delta greenhouse, completed in just 80 days from foundation to roof glazing, sets a new record in the industry. This efficiency is a testament to the seamless collaboration between Windset Farms’ construction team and KUBO’s expertise. The facility’s design focuses on sustainability, using reverse osmosis and ozone systems for water recirculation, thereby minimizing waste and ensuring the highest standards of food safety.

A Vision for the Future

The partnership between KUBO and Windset Farms is more than just a business collaboration; it’s a shared vision for the future of agriculture. With the first planting scheduled for Spring 2024, the Delta greenhouse is poised to become a vital source of locally grown produce, accessible to over 125 million consumers within a 24-hour drive. This project not only underscores the commitment of both companies to sustainable cultivation practices but also their role in meeting the growing demand for year-round, locally grown produce.

Shaping the Industry

The KUBO and Windset Farms initiative is a beacon of innovation and sustainability in the agricultural sector. By setting new standards in greenhouse farming, they are not just responding to market demands but are actively shaping the future of sustainable agriculture. This partnership exemplifies how technological advancements and a commitment to environmental stewardship can work hand in hand to produce high-quality, sustainable produce for consumers around the globe.
