Held each June during the Leamington Fair, The Greenhouse Vegetable Competition allows for greenhouse growers & marketers to showcase the best that they grow. With 16 different product segments split in to 3 primary categories as the Hottest Tomato, Perfect Pepper, and Coolest Cucumbers, the general public has the opportunity to taste hundreds of different types of vegetables to select the best entries in the competition. Done under secret ballot, consumers get a true blind taste test on selecting the best varieties. The entry with the highest amount of public votes through Friday and Saturday for each competition wins the People’s Choice Award

NatureFresh™ will be featuring the winning varieties at the upcoming United Fresh Tradeshow & Convention this week in Chicago. To learn more about the varieties and the extensive products that NatureFresh™ grows, visit booth #1238.
