While the horticulture industry has evolved significantly in the past half-century, Hydrofarm’s commitment to growers’ well-being and their success has been a constant: We’ve been empowering growers since our founding in 1977.
We are a company built on partnerships and relationships. Every greenhouse and cultivation facility has its own story, and we take the time to understand your business, your objectives and your challenges to ensure we are providing you with products and services to help you reach your goals.
Growing up on my family’s tobacco farm in North Carolina, I have seen firsthand how cultivating plants demands thoughtful care and dedication, and we take pride in partnering with you to ensure you have the right tools, insight and support to create ideal growing conditions.
It’s one of the reasons we’re sponsoring the 2025 State of the Industry Report from Greenhouse Management — so that you can have insights from other growers in the market to better understand if your pain points and wins align with others and to help you benchmark your business.
Hydrofarm’s story began when our founder developed water-saving hydroponic equipment. Over time, we’ve expanded and now specialize in systems that help growers improve quality, productivity and efficiency, including high-intensity grow lights, climate control solutions, fertilizers/nutrients and growing media. We’ve partnered with more than 100 innovative brands so that you can find everything you need to power your grow in one place.
While we may be a one-stop shop, we understand customers have their own unique operational needs. Our services go far beyond products. We provide expert advice and reliable support to ensure that we’re there long after equipment has been installed and that you have the best solution for every stage of plant development.
Aurora Peat Products, part of the Hydrofarm family of brands, exemplifies the culture we have established and continue to foster at Hydrofarm. Aurora Peat Products has been providing top-quality peat moss from a sustainably and carefully managed collection of peat bogs in Alberta since 2001. That quality comes with expert commitment and flexibility — Aurora prioritizes open communication and collaboration with partners to ensure they can accommodate all growers, whether they want small-batch production or large-scale manufacturing.
That customized approach extends to every part of our business — because every operation has its own story. We’d love to hear yours.
Mark Parker
President, Hydrofarm
