Back Ridge Bee Farm And Supply runs a greenhouse operation in Orland, ME — starter plants, seasonal color, and vegetable transplants for garden centers and B2B clients.
Greenhouse growing extends the season on both ends — earlier spring starts, later fall harvests, and year-round production of high-value ornamentals. Climate control and grower judgement drive plant quality.
Winter revenue often comes from holiday inventory: poinsettias, cyclamen, and seasonal decor. Some growers add wholesale commercial Christmas lights to round out the December mix.
