Bevo Agro

What Bevo Agro does

Bevo Agro (operating as Bevo Farms Ltd.) is a Canadian wholesale plant propagation company founded in 1986 by Dutch immigrant Jack Benne, headquartered in Langley, British Columbia. The company produces propagated greenhouse crop seedlings (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and eggplants), outdoor field crop seedlings, ornamental floral crops (including mums, hydrangeas, geraniums, gerberas, petunias, poinsettias, and primulas), and Phalaenopsis orchids. It serves two primary customer segments: commercial wholesale vegetable growers purchasing seedlings for greenhouse and outdoor food production, and floral retailers (chains and garden centers) purchasing finished flowering plants for retail sale. Distribution is direct B2B across North America (Canada and USA), with pricing negotiated on a quote basis and not publicly disclosed. The company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under ticker cve:BVO.

Production runs across 63+ acres of greenhouse space at five facilities in British Columbia and Alberta, including the Bevo Sky facility at Edmonton International Airport (5M+ orchid capacity) and the Bevo Sun facility in Medicine Hat. The technical backbone is a set of proprietary, in-house developed systems: a hybrid 50/50 LED-HPS lighting configuration across 60,000 m², computer-controlled climate systems that automate windows, heat, fans, watering, and lighting, the Water IQ Opticlear Diamond water disinfection system, mechanized seeding/grading/spacing/sticking/potting equipment, and the custom 'Mothership' bay-spanning machine that allows workers to hover over crops without bending. Hygiene protocols span entry cleaning, equipment disinfection, foot baths, and watershed areas for wagon and tray sanitation.

Revenue is generated through two wholesale streams: one-time B2B sales of greenhouse and field crop seedlings to commercial growers, and one-time sales of floral crops and pre-finished Phalaenopsis orchids to retailers. The May 2022 partnership with Dutch supplier Sion Young Plants anchors the orchid line, providing growing advice and assortment selection while Bevo contributes greenhouse capacity and logistics, enabling 2-4 day North American local delivery. Leadership comprises founder Jack Benne (founding), CEO Leo Benne (since 1992), and CFO Albert Sim (joined June 2025). The company operates as a family-controlled business; Aurora Cannabis divested its prior stake in the related Bevo Agtech Inc. entity in February 2026.
