In a recent release, the company announced the accomplishment courtesy of their latest 65,000 square foot greenhouse project in partnership with Harnois Greenhouses.
With three sites located across Quebec, Leciel, the family-owned business cultivates a total of six crops and 20 different varieties, including radishes.
“It is an immense privilege to collaborate with Leciel – Greenhouse Vegetables, a company that shares our values of innovation and sustainability,” says Corenthin Félix-Chassouant, VP sales and agronomist at Harnois Greenhouses, in the release.
“Their commitment to local agriculture is inspiring, and we are proud to contribute to their success with custom-designed greenhouses that maximize year-round yield.”
Leciel’s partnership with Harnois has provided most of their plastic greenhouses, including their latest project, a gutter connected Luminosa greenhouse complex.
“Working with Harnois Greenhouses has transformed our approach to cultivation. By growing in greenhouses, we’ve significantly reduced our pesticide use and can offer high-quality local production to Quebecers year-round,” said Steve Bertrand, co-owner of Leciel Greenhouse Vegetables, in the release.
“This greenhouse cultivation model also allows us to reduce our carbon footprint by producing directly here in Quebec. These advancements not only reinforce our leadership position but also demonstrate that quality, sustainability, and performance can go hand in hand.”
