How do greens grow in the Canadian winter?
Farmers use innovative methods to produce crunchy, delicious greens even in the coldest weather:
Aquaponics: Uses a symbiotic system where fish and plants grow together, recycling nutrients efficiently.
Hydroponics: Soil-free farming using nutrient-rich water, optimized for year-round growth.
Greenhousing: Soil-based growing in a sheltered environment to protect plants from the elements.
Fresh salad greens from Ontario farms and urban greenhouses, available most of the year. Our salad greens selection includes mixed baby lettuces, arugula, spinach, kale, chard, and seasonal field greens from farm partners who grow for flavour and freshness. Urban greenhouse growers in our network maintain consistent weekly availability through winter, while field-grown greens come in from spring through fall with more variety and intensity. All are harvested close to delivery day and arrive in noticeably better condition than what travels across the country by truck. Delivered to Toronto and the GTA every week. #FoodWithNothingToHide
