About Us
Welcome to GC Riley & Company
We offer premium plant and fruit products, right here in the heart of the Ozarks!
It all started with a passion for growing and producing products in the Missouri Ozarks. My name is Colton Drollinger, and I was attending Missouri State University when this idea came about. My father Greg and I decided we wanted to start a family business, and that got the wheels of the vision turning. We wanted to offer plant products to people in our area that clearly show we care, and extend that across the U.S.
We put our ideas to work and broke ground in 2019, erecting our first greenhouse, utilizing a practice known as “confinement growing.” This is placing a product in an enclosed environment, usually with higher density, and controlling every aspect of that environment to increase quality, productivity, and yields. We applied these methods to growing our very own products.
Since completing our first greenhouse, we have been committed to producing the highest quality fruit and plant products and offering them directly to consumers to obtain an experience they’ve never had before. Our every effort is geared towards making sure our products are grown with the utmost care in our state-of-the-art facilities. GC Riley & Company cares about what we do and what our customers consume.
