It takes a lot of work to rise above others in your industry, and when it happens, it’s important to recognize it. That’s what the Greenhouse Grower team is faced with each year when it comes to selecting the Grower of the Year winners.

Now is your chance to look back the Head Grower of the Year and Operation of the Year winners from 2020. You can start by learning more about Aleksi Yosifov of Pleasant View Gardens, who is driven to produce a better crop every year and to instill the same desire in his team.

From there, check out the story of Gotham Greens and how two fearless entrepreneurs once had the crazy idea of locating produce greenhouses in cities closer to large population centers to meet the need for high-quality fresh produce and to shorten the supply chain.

Thanks to WestRock for sponsoring these two awards, which are part of Greenhouse Grower’s Medal of Excellence Awards program.
