About us

Greenhouse crop removal, done right and done fast. Since 2003.

Who we are

The industry standard in crop removal.

Since 2003, we've dedicated ourselves to one thing: getting growers back to planting faster.

With over two decades of hands-on experience, a fleet of custom-engineered machines, and a team that understands the urgency of every turnaround, we've built a reputation growers count on season after season.

The problem we solve

Time is money, and a lot of it.

The window between harvest and the next planting cycle is razor-thin, and every idle day means lost production and lost revenue. Traditional crop removal relies on manual labour, general-purpose equipment and multiple contractors: slow, expensive and unpredictable. Growers deserve better than that.

Our solution

Purpose-built to close the gap.

Our proprietary shredding machines are designed from the ground up for greenhouse environments. They don't just remove spent crops. They shred, clear and prepare the growing area in a single, streamlined pass, saving growers time, labour costs and the headache of coordinating multiple service providers.

Our story

It started with a simple observation.

Growers across the Leamington region were losing valuable production days waiting on outdated crop removal methods. Our founder saw the opportunity to do it better.

He began designing and fabricating custom shredding equipment in-house: testing, refining and rebuilding until the machines could handle the demands of commercial greenhouse operations at scale. What started as a single machine and a handful of clients has grown into the largest dedicated greenhouse crop removal operation in North America.

Built for scale

The numbers speak for themselves.

With over 6,000 acres of greenhouse space in the Leamington area alone, and the industry continuing to expand, the demand for fast, professional crop removal has never been higher.

We've scaled to meet that demand by expanding our fleet, training specialized operators, and developing logistics systems that let us service multiple sites simultaneously without sacrificing quality or speed.

What sets us apart

Capacity no one else can match.

We don't just show up. We coordinate with your schedule, work around your timelines, and deliver results that keep your operation moving forward.

Ready to deploy

With multiple machines ready at any given time, we offer the capacity and flexibility growers need.

Our commitment

Our work is the bridge between one successful harvest and the next.

That responsibility drives everything we do, from the way we maintain our equipment to the way we treat every grower's facility as if it were our own. When downtime isn't an option, growers across Ontario and beyond trust Fehr Shredding to get the job done right.
