Haygrove designs and manufactures protective cropping systems used by fruit growers worldwide. Built by growers for growers, our tunnels and protective structures help producers manage climate risk, improve fruit quality, and extend harvest windows. In Canada, Haygrove works with berry and cherry growers to protect high-value crops from rain, heat, and humidity while maintaining strong natural ventilation. This supports consistent yields, better pack-out, and improved labour efficiency. With much of Canadian fruit production still uncovered and exposed to weather risk, protective structures represent a major opportunity to stabilise production, improve quality, and maximise premium fresh-market returns.

Oxrow.ai is an agricultural intelligence platform that sits above existing farm management systems, ERPs, and operational tools — turning siloed Ag data into instant answers. Instead of logging into multiple systems or building reports, growers, packers, and marketers simply ask questions and get real-time operational intelligence back with Ai. Oxrow connects to the software systems Ag operations already use, requiring no new software to replace and no disruption to existing workflows. The result: faster decisions, fewer blind spots, and a smarter operation from the farm to the sales desk.
