Greenhouse producer plants first seedlings in Wapakoneta, Ohio

Red Sun Farms has announced that the lights are on and the first set of seedlings have been planted as of January 21st 2017.

Announced on May 3, 2016 Wapakoneta Ohio marked the 2nd U.S expansion for Red Sun Farms. This facility will be equipped to provide fresh greenhouse produce anywhere within a 10 hour transport radius, covering nearly 60% of the U.S population.

"The farm features state of the art technology, such as high pressure sodium lighting, that increases the growing season of fresh local greenhouse produce. It also features a high-tech water recycling system to greatly reduce its environmental impact. Over 200,000 seedlings will be planted across 20 acres of greenhouse space," Red Sun Farms claimed in a press release.

Paul J. Mastronardi, co-owner of the project, indicates that the first group of crops will be ready within 8 weeks.

This new facility is also the home of a 26,000 square foot distribution center to provide retail and foodservice partners with their greenhouse produce. This initial step marks the first stage of a facility.
