Mastronardi Produce has added 91 acres of Canadian greenhouse capacity consisting of a newly constructed, state-of-the-art 27-acre glass greenhouse facility in Kingsville, Ontario which will provide lit production in the winter of local Sunset-branded produce.
In addition to this greenhouse, Mastronardi Produce will serve as the exclusive long-term marketer for two additional facilities: J.C. Fresh Farms Ltd. (32 acres in Kingsville) and Orangeline Farms Limited (32 acres in Leamington). This collaboration secures a total of 91 acres of Canadian greenhouse production capacity, enhancing Mastronardi's commitment to providing fresh, high-quality produce to customers.
“This additional greenhouse acreage allows us to further our mission of delivering WOW flavour experiences with locally grown fruits and vegetables,” said Paul Mastronardi, president & CEO of Mastronardi Produce. “We are excited about these additional farms, as the increased acreage will play a vital role in supporting our continued growth in Canada and ensuring we meet the rising demand for SUNSET branded produce.”
The new glass greenhouse facility, completed in 2020, utilizes advanced technology and lighting to optimize growing conditions, ensuring the highest quality of produce.
