Greenhouse Grower to Grower Podcast: Insights From Greenhouse Grower’s Two Award-Winning Growers From 2025

By Brian D. Sparks|November 30, 2025

Greenhouse Grower has entered the world of podcasts with the launch of our “Greenhouse Grower to Grower” series. In the podcast, which will be delivered every other week, we talk to growers from across the controlled-environment industry about market trends, innovation, their biggest challenges and opportunities, and more.

During Cultivate’25, Greenhouse Grower presented its Head Grower of the Year award to Brad Meyer of Bachman’s, and its Operation of the Year award to Hampshire Farms in Illinois. In this episode of Greenhouse Grower to Grower, we go behind the scenes with Brad Mayer, and with Fred Wacker at Hampshire Farms, about building a team, working with consumers, and more.

You can listen to the episode here, or you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts. We hope you enjoy it!
