Millennium Pacific Greenhouses launches California Grown Cucumber Program

Millennium Pacific Greenhouses — a California-based, vertically integrated, family-owned grower and marketer of greenhouse-grown vegetables — announced the launch of its new California Grown (CA GROWN) Cucumber Program, delivering greenhouse-grown Long English, Mini and Coastal Cukie-Bites Snack-Sized cucumbers to retailers and consumers across the West Coast year-round.

Produced in its advanced greenhouse facility in Tehachapi, California, the program reinforces Millennium’s commitment to surety of supply, consistent quality and regionally grown freshness, the company said. The expansion enhances the company's ability to serve retail and foodservice partners throughout California and neighboring western markets with reduced transit times, improved shelf life and dependable volume planning, the company added.

“Our new California Grown Cucumber Program builds on the strength of our already robust tomato portfolio and represents a significant step forward in reinforcing our West Coast supply network,” said Brandon Gruenberger, vice president of sales at Millennium Pacific Greenhouses. “By leveraging our recent 62-acre acquisition in Tehachapi, we’re able to provide retailers with consistent, premium greenhouse cucumbers while reducing supply gaps and transportation risk. This program enhances our ability to plan collaboratively with customers and deliver the freshness consumers expect — every day of the year.”

Millennium utilizes controlled environment agriculture to optimize light, climate and water efficiency. The company operates in both the U.S. and Canada and offers a year-round supply of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers with cross-border continuity.
