Winter Season Freshness: Year-round Veggies from the Greenhouse

As winter settles in and temperatures drop, finding fresh, flavorful produce might seem like a challenge. But thanks to modern commercial greenhouses, you can enjoy delicious, nutritious veggies all year long—even in the dead of winter. At Red Sun Farms, we’re committed to ensuring that fresh vegetables are always available, no matter the season, through our advanced greenhouse operations and seed-to-plate approach.

How Do Greenhouses Thrive in Winter?

So how do we keep growing fresh produce when it's freezing outside? The answer lies in the advanced design of our greenhouses. One unique method we use is a warm-water system that circulates through cart rails along the rows of plants, providing a steady flow of heat to keep our greenhouse environment cozy, extending the growing season—even when temperatures drop outside.

In some of our high-tech North American greenhouses, we utilize LED lighting technology to maintain a fresh supply during winter. In these facilities, the winter growing season can start as early as November, ensuring steady production from January through June. With precise control over climate, humidity, and light, these greenhouses create ideal conditions for plants to thrive, so you can enjoy fresh produce no matter the season!

Year-Round Freshness from Seed to Plate

Our commitment to freshness goes beyond just temperature control. Red Sun Farms operates with a fully integrated "seed-to-plate" business model throughout North America. We handle everything from seed selection to growing, harvesting, packaging, and delivering to your local grocery store. This gives us full control over the quality and freshness of every vegetable we produce.

During the colder months, our greenhouses in Mexico operate in full swing, ensuring that no matter where you are, you can enjoy your favorite greenhouse-grown veggies with the same flavor and quality all year long. This winter abundance is made possible through our network of greenhouses and distribution centers, which enables us to produce and supply vegetables when traditional farming simply can’t.

Sustainable Growing All Year Long

In addition to providing fresh veggies during winter, greenhouse growing also supports sustainability. By using less land and optimizing growing conditions, our greenhouses help reduce waste and water consumption compared to traditional farming methods.

So, this winter, when you’re planning your meals or prepping for a family gathering, remember that fresh, flavorful vegetables are still available—thanks to the warmth and care of commercial greenhouses. Red Sun Farms is proud to bring you the best of greenhouse-grown veggies, every season of the year.

Stay cozy and enjoy the taste of summer, even in winter!
