Seedway forms controlled environment ag department

Seedway LLC, Hall, N.Y., has formed a controlled environment agriculture department in collaboration with Sakata Seed America.

With indoor vegetable production growing in popularity, it has been Seedway’s goal to bring quality products and varieties that are best suited for the commercial vegetable producer.

Using the depth of Seedway’s and Sakata Seed America’s vegetable seed product portfolio will give Seedway leverage when supplying the best-suited varieties for controlled environment agriculture (CEA) growers, including traditional greenhouse and vertical farms.

Evelyn Zaleski, CEA sales representative and trials coordinator, will oversee the sales growth for the new venture into a developing market in the ag industry.

She is no stranger to the selection of quality vegetable seed products. In her previous role as product development coordinator, Zaleski was responsible for preparing seeds for samples and trials, tracking and organizing trial results for suppliers and evaluating product trials. She joined Seedway in 2020.
