The Perennial Farm Opens Third Growing Facility in Maryland
The Perennial Farm has announced the opening of its third location in Centreville, MD. This is the farm’s second location on the eastern shore of Maryland and joins a location in Sudlersville, MD, which opened eight years ago.
The Centreville location, at 47,000 square feet of heated greenhouse space, is a significant expansion for The Perennial Farm. This new location will allow The Perennial Farm to grow more material for early spring sales while increasing its capacity to grow large custom landscape projects.
“This new facility will help us have more new crops available throughout the year and will keep us living up to our mantra, ‘We’re Growing For You,’” says The Perennial Farm President and owner Rick Watson.
