For 40 years, Hionis Greenhouses has been a beacon of agricultural excellence in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. What began as a family dream in 1984, founded by Spiro and Angie Hionis, has blossomed into a thriving business that supplies fresh plants and flowers not only to local markets but also up and down the East Coast and into the Midwest.
On March 18, 2025, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, led by Secretary James Wengryn, along with state legislators, legislative staff, and industry representatives, gathered at Hionis Greenhouses to celebrate National Ag Day and honor the Hionis family's dedication to farming and business.
