Millennium Pacific Greenhouses says it is set to deliver premium greenhouse-grown long English, mini and Coastal Cukie-Bites snack cucumbers to West Coast retailers and consumers year-round through its new California Grown program.

Rooted in the strength of its advanced greenhouse facility in Tehachapi, Calif., the company says the program reinforces its commitment to surety of supply, consistent quality and regionally grown freshness. The greenhouse grower says the expansion enhances its 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 California Grown designation carries powerful equity at retail. For consumers increasingly focused on where their food is grown, Millennium Pacific Greenhouses says its West Coast greenhouse production offers transparency, freshness and year-round availability.

“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,” says Brandon Gruenberger, vice president of sales for 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.”

As a vertically integrated, family-owned greenhouse company operating in both the U.S. and Canada, Millennium Pacific Greenhouses says it ensures reliable, year-round supply of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers with seamless cross-border continuity.

The company says its greenhouse growing model uses controlled environment agriculture to optimize light, climate and water efficiency, producing cucumbers that are crisp, refreshing and consistently high in quality. Millennium Pacific Greenhouses says the California Grown program complements its broader North American greenhouse footprint, creating a balanced supply strategy designed for resilience and continuity.

Benefits highlighted for retailers include:

  • Strong regional marketing support through California Grown.
  • Reduced freight exposure and faster replenishment cycles.
  • Category consistency across long English, mini and snack formats.
  • Dependable year-round programs backed by vertical integration.

As consumer demand for fresh, local and greenhouse-grown produce continues to rise, Millennium Pacific Greenhouses says it remains committed to delivering on its brand promise through innovation, quality and trusted partnerships.
