Founded in 1954, the family-owned company is headquartered in Kingsville, Ontario. Their operations are fully integrated from seeding, harvesting, packaging, and shipping to ensure freshness and quality. Their expansion into Ohio will make certain their U.S. customers receive the freshest, highest quality, environmentally sustainable, and locally-grown produce throughout the year. Phase One will be planted with 200,000 tomato plants. At full build-out, the complex will include 200-acres under glass with 400 employees.
