Operating advanced greenhouse facilities, it produces cannabis via Pure Sunfarms, traditional produce, and clean energy. Its approach prioritizes efficiency, resource stewardship, and sustainable cultivation, leveraging decades of operational expertise to maintain high productivity and environmental responsibility across its operations.
The company originated in the late 1980s, founded on the insight that high-technology greenhouse cultivation offered superior efficiency over traditional outdoor farming. This method delivered greater yields from less land while significantly reducing resource consumption. This foundational CEA expertise established Village Farms as a leading North American produce supplier, preceding its strategic diversification into new markets. Michael A.
