About us
Greenhouse Crop Removal — Done Right, Done Fast
Fehr Shredding is the industry standard in greenhouse crop removal across North America. 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 that growers count on season after season.
The Problem We Solve
In greenhouse agriculture, 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 methods rely on manual labor, general-purpose equipment, and multiple contractors — a process that's slow, expensive, and unpredictable. Growers deserve better than that.
Our Solution
Fehr Shredding was purpose-built to solve this exact problem. Our proprietary shredding machines are designed from the ground up specifically for greenhouse environments. They don't just remove spent crops — they shred, clear, and prepare the growing area in a single, streamlined pass. The result is a cleaner, faster turnaround that saves growers time, labor costs, and the headache of coordinating multiple service providers.
Our Story
It all started with a simple observation: growers across the Leamington region were losing valuable production days waiting on outdated crop removal methods.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 allow us to service multiple sites simultaneously without sacrificing quality or speed.
What Sets Us Apart
Our skilled operators can clear up to an acre per hour in virtually any greenhouse configuration — from tomatoes and peppers to cucumbers and cannabis. With multiple machines ready to deploy at any given time, we offer the capacity and flexibility that no other service provider 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.
Our Commitment
At Fehr Shredding, we understand that 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..
