The Pure Flavor
Difference
Innovation
• First greenhouse vegetable marketer to bring fresh cut vegetables to market with our Grilling & Roasting trays
• Ready-to-eat/Pre-washed capable • Trial more than 100 new varieties each year. We are constantly searching for
new varieties with improved flavor and production
Experience
• Our founders are fourth-generation farmers who initiated the commercial greenhouse industry in North America.
• High level of service & fill rate • Internal knowledge and experience with retail ordering systems such as Foodlink
and I-Trade. • Experienced with private labeling • In-house logistics expertise
Grower Network

trialing facility for new growing techniques and seed varieties
• Network of independent family farms
The Greenhouse
Advantage
Integrated Pest Management
• Rather than using pesticides on our crops, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a program where we release ‘good bugs’ into our greenhouses to prey on ‘bad bugs’
• Our closed environment also reduces the threat of pests in our greenhouses
Protected Water Supply and Reduced Water Usage
• Our closed water system means that any unused water is collected, sterilized and recirculated through our irrigation system – no run-off water is released into the environment.
• No waste water means that our greenhouses use as little as 1/20 of the water that traditional farming requires.
Other Benefits
• Consistent flavor profile & sizing o Because we’re able to give our plants the ideal climate with the perfect
amount of water and nutrients, our plants never have to fight for survival and are able to put all of their energy into producing the best possible fruit.
• More produce can be grown in a smaller space o Greenhouse yields are significantly higher
than those from field farming. Much more produce can be grown in a much smaller space – good news in a world with high population growth and food crises.
