COVID-19

Early in the development of the COVID-19 situation, Sun Harvest Greenhouses was classified as an essential business by the Province of Ontario as a primary producer of food and plants. In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, we had closed our doors and served our customers exclusively through our online store, offering curbside pickup and delivery. In light of recent direction from the government and encouraging forecasts of the pandemic’s future course, we have been patiently waiting for the opportunity to welcome our customers back to the greenhouse.

In consultation with local authorities, Sun Harvest has been given permission to open our retail spaces to the public with numerous measures in place to ensure the safety of our customers, and staff – effective May 4, 2020. To assure our customers that public safety is a priority, please find a list of protocols below that will allow us to share our passion for gardening and quality produce with you this spring!

• Restricting the number of customers allowed in the greenhouse at one time (we prefer customers shop alone rather than in groups)
• Customers and staff must wear a mask/face covering while inside the greenhouse (effective June 27)
• Customers enter through the front entrance only where use of a hand-sanitizing station will be required
• Customers must practice physical distancing within all areas of the greenhouse
• Carts will be sanitized and available for use in a signed area near the main entrance
• There will plexiglass screens around the cash area to maintain barriers between staff and customers
• Payment will only be accepted by credit card or debit – cash is not accepted

We thank you for your patience and support through this difficult time, and look forward to serving you in the near future.
