Our Facility Over the years Sunrise Greenhouses has been recognized as one of the foremost leaders in greenhouse innovation. From development and implementation of greenhouse equipment including automatic booms, table stacking, packaging equipment and energy efficient technology, few other greenhouses rival our technology. A 300 foot long underground basement captures more than 10 million liters of rainfall per year for irrigation. Several irrigation units with a combination of 20 separate irrigation solution tanks allow us to produce our exclusive range of products in a fully recycled irrigation system so no nutrients or chemicals are released into the environment. This is achieved by the use of mobile ebb and flood benches that allow us to sub-irrigate our crops keeping the plants dry and preventing potential infection by pathogens. The mobile bench system is also extremely efficient allowing us to automate all phases of the production. These investments come with the belief that superior systems lead to high quality products. Our facility is heated by two 500 HP European high efficiency boilers each outfitted with condensers and C02 scrubbers. Each department contains HID lighting, double energy curtains and humidity control. Together with Koppert Biological Control Systems we are working to reduce our chemical dependency by using natural controls to fight pests and pathogens to create a greener future.

Pixie Grape is a dwarf grapevine that produces miniature clusters of grapes. This small plant is easy to care for and can be grown both indoors and out. In fact, the Pixie Grape is so small, it can even be grown in a coffee cup! Pixie Grape is a naturally occurring mutant of Vitus Vinifera ‘Pinot Meunier’, a variety of grapes used to produce wine and champagne. Unlike traditional vines that can take up to three years to produce grapes, the Pixie Grape begins producing its signature miniature clusters of grapes within the first year of growth. Due to its unique appearance, it makes a wonderful conversation piece and is a must-have for the wine lover!
