The NatureFresh™ Farms team has had a lot to celebrate in our 20th year, and the #FutureOfFresh is looking just as bright. Take a look below to see what our team has been working on to keep us at the forefront within our industry.

Discovery Center

In the NatureFresh™ Farms Discovery Center, we are constantly trialing different seed varieties as we search for the next fresh products to add to our lineup.

The TOMZ® Tomberry® Tomato was a variety that graduated from the Discovery Center’s rigorous trial and development program in 2017. This one-of-a-kind tiny Tomato made a big splash when it hit grocery store shelves!

The Discovery Center isn’t just about finding brand-new varieties like the Tomberry® for us to grow – it’s also about perfecting the growing practices for some of our long-time favorites. Whether it’s finding ways to extend a product’s shelf life or enhance its flavor, our Research and Development team is committed to growing the best food using the most effective practices available.

Visit Booth 2019 at the United Fresh 2019 tradeshow to see what our Research and Development team is up to in our Discovery Center this season!

Sustainable Packaging

Our focus on operating a sustainable business from start to finish is growing stronger every day. Where packaging is concerned, we are constantly searching for and executing innovative packaging solutions that are safe for both our products and the planet.

Most recently, our team introduced a compostable tray that our Mini Cucumbers are now being packed in – this tray is made from 100% recyclable and compostable pulp molded materials that compost within 60 to 90 days. This material makes our new tray a sustainable substitute for the traditional Styrofoam version.

Introducing this compostable tray is a big step towards our company having more sustainable marketing practices – but we know there are many more packaging solutions that still need to be discovered and implemented to make our operation as environmentally responsible as possible.

Ask our team about the sustainable packaging solutions we are exploring with our valued suppliers – you can find our team at Booth 2019 throughout the United Fresh 2019 Convention & Expo! 

Our Latest Build

Over 235,000 brand-new Tomato plants have officially been welcomed into our newest greenhouse in Leamington, ON! This state-of-the-art greenhouse facility will allow us to produce Ontario-grown Tomatoes-on-the-Vine and Specialty Tomatoes throughout the winter months, allowing consumers to purchase NatureFresh™ Farms Tomato products 365 days of the year!

With more people looking for locally-grown produce on store shelves 12 months of the year, we can now meet consumer demand with high-quality, consistently fresh Tomato products grown close to home all year long.

Alongside this new greenhouse facility, we are finishing up construction on a high-tech Warehouse facility. This operation will use industry-leading technology and a wide range of automated machinery to increase efficiency and meet the highest safety standards.

Our new facilities are allowing us to set the bar even higher within our industry – visit Booth 2019 to learn more!
