We can grow nearly 20 times the amount of produce in the same “space” as traditional field farming, which means our impact on land is substantially reduced. Because we do not use chemical pesiticides or herbcides, rinsing the lettuce before consumption is optional. All of our lettuces go through a rigorous 4-step quality control process before it is packaged and our employees follow strict harvesting and packing protocols.

There’s absolutely no dirt or soil used in our growing process, which ensures you get the cleanest produce possible. With wheelbarrow loads of hard work and innovative thinking, the Great Lakes Growers company we know and love today was born. In 2011, John left the family greenhouse to start a new kind of hydroponic growing operation. Crain’s Cleveland Business followed suit, including John and his sister in their 2009 “40 Under 40” class. In 2008, Greenhouse Grower magazine called him “one to watch” for his progressive approach to production and sustainable energy. in Business Administration, he successfully ran the family greenhouse operation for six years.

Growing up around these companies, John learned the ins and outs of the industry.

John’s father worked there, eventually forming Dillen Products and growing it into a top supplier of plastic containers for the plant industry. His grandfather started Burton Floral and Garden, the Midwest’s largest horticultural supply distributor. He grew up on the family farm in Burton, Ohio among 30 acres of corn, soybeans and greenhouses.
