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.
