 During the 1950's and 1960's, many Dutch
immigrants settled around Ontario's Niagara Peninsula, a scenic area
famous for its agricultural traditions. With a rich history of farming
and growing embedded in their culture, these European settlers brought
with them an expanse of knowledge and experience related to the cultivation
of vegetables. They soon introduced their own growing practices to the
region and have since become part of the cultural mosaic of the Canadian
and North American agricultural and horticultural landscape.
In 1985, three such immigrants from Holland came together to form St.
David's Hydroponics Ltd., a company originally devoted to the production
of hydroponic European bell peppers with long expertise in the use of
hydroponic growing technology. The first greenhouse was established in
St. David's, Ontario, close to the beautiful area of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
We have since expanded with new greenhouses in Beamsville, Ontario,
and a major new greenhouse facility in Niagara-on-the-Lake. All of our
greenhouses are located close to Lake Ontario and the Canadian/US border.
This gives us quick access to important major markets.
Our total greenhouse area is currently 57 acres. |
