The Bio Berries vision
See what we’re building.
A closer look at the vision for fresh, Manitoba-grown strawberries produced through advanced controlled-environment agriculture.
The project
Fresh berries, grown for the Prairies.
Bio Berries Farms is developing a modern controlled-environment agriculture project designed to strengthen Manitoba’s supply of fresh strawberries.
The proposed greenhouse will combine proven horticultural systems, precise climate control and efficient resource use. The goal is simple: grow consistently excellent berries near the people who buy them, while creating a resilient Canadian food-production asset.
Why it matters
Built around resilience,
quality and place.
Fresher by design
Growing near Winnipeg shortens the journey from greenhouse to retailer—and from shelf to table.
Rural economic impact
The project is designed to create skilled, year-round work and support a network of Canadian suppliers.
Resource efficiency
Controlled growing enables precise use of water, nutrients, energy and crop inputs.
Conceptual renderingSustainable technology
A greenhouse designed as one connected system.
The growing environment and energy strategy are being planned together—from the beginning.
01High-performance Venlo greenhouseEngineered for light transmission, climate stability and Manitoba conditions.
02Biomass heat & CHP integrationA lower-carbon thermal strategy with the potential to recover useful energy and CO₂.
03Precision growing systemsElevated gutters, supplemental LED lighting and intelligent climate controls.
04Water recirculationClosed-loop thinking to make every input work harder.
Founder-led
Built with persistence—and a practical operator’s mindset.
Bio Berries Farms was founded by Manitoba entrepreneur Hillary Proctor.
After building and operating Leaf Landscaping for more than a decade, Hillary brings hands-on business ownership, project coordination and a long-term commitment to Manitoba. Bio Berries began with a question: why shouldn’t more of the berries Manitobans buy be grown right here?
“The opportunity is bigger than growing strawberries. It’s about building durable food infrastructure for Manitoba.”
