Variety the spice of life
If variety is indeed the spice of life, Sunsation Acres is an especially well-seasoned operation.
The 16-acre greenhouse vegetable operation is located in Kingsville, Ontario. The product mix is quite diversified


Crops that can be cool
Managing crops to yield maximum profitability should be on the top of every grower’s list of goals and objectives. Borrowing a name from the ’90s, this involves applying “best management practices” to all aspects of production to assure maximum success


Picture-perfect vegetables
For researchers studying a difficult-to-detect problem with greenhouse peppers, a picture might indeed be worth a thousand words.


Year-round production
Year-round, high-wire production of mini-cucumbers with supplemental lighting is being fine-tuned at the Greenhouse and Processing Crops Research Centre.
