Violet Gro Ag Lighting Announces Partnership With Cedar Valley Farms

WEST SALEM, Ohio, May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cedar Valley Farms, a family-owned hemp business, announced a partnership today with Violet Gro, a Colorado-based agricultural lighting company. Cedar Valley Farms holds one of the 198 hemp production licenses for the 2020 growing season in the state of Ohio. With the propagation of its initial hemp crops for the season complete, they have cited Violet Gro's LED grow lights as their primary light source for their greenhouse operations, which include the 1,500 square-foot structure pictured below - as well as plans to utilize Violet Gro for an expanded 300,000 square-foot grow facility.

Shawn Cutter, CEO of Cedar Valley Farms, stated, "In a few weeks, Cedar Valley Farms' hemp crops will be coming to life. Our plan is to infuse technology into agriculture in pretty unbelievable ways, and we look forward to utilizing Violet Gro's patented technology to do our part to build and support the hemp industry."

Violet Gro's lights leverage that patented technology in combination with cutting-edge design to produce agricultural lights that are exceptionally energy efficient (only 200W per 8' light bar) and have very low operating temperatures, lending themselves to significant energy savings when compared with traditional lighting solutions.

Cedar Valley Farms is that type of company, with great vision to expand not only domestically and globally but also the drive to achieve the highest performance in their facilities, as well as consistent quality of product for their clients," said Kurt Kucera, President and Global Head of Business Development at Violet Gro.
