Located in Queensville, Ontario, Good Year Farms specializes in the production of high-quality spring and fall flowers, herbs, and vegetable plants, as well as ready-to-plant gardens for local and regional markets. To keep up with growing demand and optimize its propagation process, the company partnered with Harnois Greenhouses to install freestanding structures specifically designed for its commercial horticulture needs.
By choosing Harnois Greenhouse for flowers and vegetable plants, Good Year Farms gained a scalable, climate-controlled solution that supports both plant health and operational efficiency.
Expanding transplant production with freestanding greenhouse structures
While greenhouses are traditionally associated with vegetable crops, their potential for high-efficiency transplant production is just as significant. At Good Year Farms, the team selected a greenhouse solution tailored to their unique needs: a complex of 60 ground-to-ground Ovaltech III greenhouses, each measuring 30’ x 301’.
Designed for commercial-scale crop production, the Ovaltech III model stood out for its spacious interior, structural durability, and climate responsiveness, making it ideally suited for growing both flower and vegetable transplants.
These greenhouses are configured to optimize propagation workflows, offering:
- Curved walls and a gothic shape engineered for Ontario’s climate
- Ample natural light to support dense, uniform seedling growth
- Open interior layouts compatible with rolling benches and irrigation systems
- Ventilation options for precise temperature and humidity control
- Scalable modularity to accommodate future expansion or seasonal zoning
Thanks to this setup, Good Year Farms now benefits from a high-capacity, production-efficient environment that supports year-round transplant output, while reducing operational constraints and maximizing production cycles.
Why Good Year Farms chose Harnois Greenhouses
When planning to expand their production, the Ontarian team needed more than just a supplier; they needed a partner capable of managing a large-scale greenhouse project from design to delivery.
Harnois stood out for its:
- Proven experience in deploying high-volume greenhouse complexes
- It’s local expertise and track record in Canadian horticulture
- Proven engineering in harsh environments for Ontario’s weather conditions

The success of this 60-unit Ovaltech III installation is a testament to Harnois’ ability to deliver durable, efficient, and scalable infrastructure for professional growers.
