Welcome to Lowey's Greenhouse & Market Garden

Celebrating Nearly a Century of Growth and Tradition

At Lowey’s Produce & Greenhouse, we are proud to be a third-generation, family-run farm and greenhouse operation with deep roots in our community. Since our beginnings nearly a century ago, we have dedicated ourselves to growing quality produce and plants, serving our customers with passion, and cultivating a love for gardening. As we approach our 100-year milestone in 2027, we reflect on our journey with pride and excitement for the future.

A Family Legacy

Family has always been at the heart of Lowey’s Produce & Greenhouse. Our journey took a significant turn in 1990 when our family took over the operation, bringing renewed dedication and vision. Today, our family remains actively involved in nurturing and expanding our business:

  • Donna and Blair continue to run and manage the farm, ensuring the traditions and values of our business are upheld.

  • Kaela, our youngest, works full-time on the family farm, helping with the daily operations of the greenhouse and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

  • Nichole, our oldest daughter, balances her career as a school teacher and motherhood while still playing a key role behind the scenes in our greenhouse operations.

  • Jessica, our middle daughter, pursued a nursing career in Vancouver but maintains her love for plants and gardening, staying connected to our business from afar.

Their dedication exemplifies our family’s commitment to not just growing plants, but also growing a community centered around green spaces and sustainability.

Expanding for a Greener Future

Recognizing the importance of continuous growth and innovation, we made a significant investment in 2008 to modernize our greenhouse operation in Fort Frances. This expansion included:

  • A state-of-the-art gutter-connected greenhouse, allowing us to operate year-round and provide high-quality plants in all seasons.

  • A dedicated storefront, making it easier for our customers to find gardening supplies, tools, and hardgoods.

  • A new shop for our market gardens department, boosting productivity and ensuring we continue to provide fresh, locally grown produce to our community.

This investment solidified our reputation as a trusted supplier and enhanced our ability to serve our loyal customers with even greater efficiency and quality.

Growing Even Bigger: A Second Location

In 2024, we embarked on our next exciting chapter by purchasing Lorraine’s Garden Center, marking the addition of our second location. This expansion allows us to reach even more gardening enthusiasts, providing them with the same high-quality plants, expert advice, and exceptional service that have been our hallmark for generations.

Join Us on Our Journey

As we look ahead to celebrating 100 years in 2027, we remain committed to our core values of family, quality, and community. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting your green thumb journey, we invite you to visit our greenhouse, explore our diverse selection of plants and produce, and become a part of the Lowey’s Produce & Greenhouse family.

Thank you for growing with us!
