Havelettuce Projects

After an extensive period of development, Havelettuce Projects became a reality in 2020. With over 100+ years of combined company experience and over 400 greenhouse facilities built Havecon and Blueforest ED are now offering standardized design and building of turnkey lettuce greenhouses.
