About Grower Direct Farms
What began as a gravel pit, transformed into a flourishing haven of life and growth. This transformation was able to take place due to excellent quality of water and old fashioned hard work. Len Van Wingerden took two acres of land, 68,000 sq ft of greenhouse, along with excellent customer service and a focus on exceptional quality to propel the growth path for GDF. These days, Grower Direct Farms continues to excel at the fine balance of art and science with a highly trained work force, experienced management, and modern efficient facilities. We also use rigorous conservation and sustainability practices as an integral part of the flower and plant growing regimens. Our potting soil is made up of organic sphagnum peat moss and rice hulls, extensive use of biological disease and pest controls are a part of our IPM (integrated pest management) procedure. We have consultation agreements with the world’s most renowned experts providing on-going education for our growers and exposure to the best growing practices from around the globe. A highly sophisticated, climate controlled computer system, linked to a proprietary weather station, controls the greenhouse environment. We grow millions of seedlings and transplants annually. Through the use of rolling carts for internal movement of plants, electric tuggers, equipment to fill plant containers, and computerized scheduling of production programs, much of the repetitive work has been automated.
