Perhaps that’s why many of the operations on Greenhouse Grower’s 2023 Top 100 Growers list maintained the same square footage of production as they had in 2022. However, that tide could turn to more growth a year from now. In our Top 100 Growers survey for this year, and in follow-up phone calls and emails with several growers on the list, many told us they were planning for expansion — some major — heading into 2024.
In the slideshow above, find out which companies claimed spots #25 through #1 on our list. You can also find numbers 100-76 here, numbers 75-51 here and numbers 50-26 here. Let us know if anything on the list should be updated by commenting below.
