Windset Farms (Canada) Ltd. (Windset Farms), one of North America’s largest vertically integrated producers and marketers of greenhouse grown produce, is expanding its Delta operations, providing year-round lit greenhouse production at scale in Delta, British Columbia.
Fasken is advising in connection with Windset Farms' major greenhouse expansion in Delta, British Columbia, a significant investment in controlled-environment agriculture that strengthens regional food security and advances sustainable year-round food production. The expansion increases Windset's capacity to supply fresh produce to markets across Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest throughout the year, with 168 acres of greenhouse facilities expected to be in operation by the end of 2027.
The expansion incorporates a range of innovative horticultural technologies designed to enhance operational efficiency and environmental performance, including customized LED growing systems, automated screening systems, and thermal screens that are expected to reduce heat loss and deliver substantial energy savings. The project also supports local food production, helping to reduce transportation requirements, food waste and supply-chain risks while strengthening domestic agricultural capacity.
Fasken advises Windset Farms on the development of the project with a team led by Fergus McDonnell (Infrastructure and Projects), and including Patrick Frost (Infrastructure and Projects), Jenaea Reimann (Infrastructure and Projects), and Erika Swinton (Litigation and Dispute Resolution).
