A Gormley, Ontario-based business specializing in organic microgreens and potted lettuce has sprouted up in the Hamilton area, expanding to a 35-acre plot of provincial Greenbelt land.

"We were looking to build additional space at our Gormley facility, and with the robotics and equipment … already existing at Woodhill, it just made a lot of sense."
