Rooted in partnership: Inside LMRE's decades-long bond with Green Circle Growers
|
Recently, Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative’s President/CEO Ed VanHoose and Buckeye Power President & CEO Craig Grooms visited with Green Circle Growers, one of the largest greenhouses in North America and LMRE’s largest commercial account. The visit included not only a tour of the greenhouse facilities, but also a lengthy conversation with one of Green Circle Growers’ co-CEOs, CJ van Wingerden, about the decades-old relationship between the two organizations.
|
|
|
|
Due to the family-owned history Green Circle Growers embodies, the relationship between the cooperative and the van Wingerdens has transformed into more than a simple utility-to-consumer transaction. LMRE has provided power for the greenhouse operation since Green Circle’s inception over 50 years ago, with multiple generations of both cooperative employees and the van Wingerden family working together as Green Circle Growers expands, evolves, and looks to new technologies to meet their ever-growing energy needs.
