Haven Greens, a new agricultural venture based in King City, Ontario, has officially begun harvesting its first crops from Canada’s first fully automated greenhouse. This milestone signals the start of a year-round operation expected to yield over 3.6 million pounds of lettuce annually, showcasing the company’s commitment to local, sustainable food production. Designed with climate control and touchless automation, Haven Greens aims to deliver consistently fresh, ready-to-eat lettuce while minimizing environmental impact.

Focused on baby green leaf, baby red and green leaf mix, and baby spring mix, the facility’s early production phase brings pesticide-free, crisp greens to Ontario’s local grocers and farmers’ markets. With daily harvesting and optimal growing conditions, Haven Greens addresses seasonal supply limitations and reduces the need for long-distance transportation -- supporting both sustainability goals and food security.

In addition to its environmental commitments, Haven Greens donates surplus produce to local food banks, ensuring nutritious greens reach underserved communities. This initiative positions the company as a forward-thinking leader in eco-conscious urban farming.
