It is an exciting time of year at NatureFresh Farms – the company’s Leamington, ON greenhouses have started full production for the 2018 growing season. In addition to greenhouse-grown peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers, NatureFresh Farms is now offering organic sweet bell and mini sweet peppers. There is plenty of fresh news to celebrate in Ontario this season.
As a large bell pepper grower in North America, NatureFresh Farms continues to offer red, orange, and yellow sweet bell peppers for North American consumers. NatureFresh Farms said the 2018 season is especially exciting for bell pepper growing because of their recent expansion of organically-grown offerings. Along with organic sweet bell peppers, NatureFresh Farms is now growing organic sweet mini peppers for North American consumers.

With production now beginning in Ontario, the Tomz Snacking Tomato line will be grown in both Ontario and Ohio greenhouses. Using the same growing processes and methods at both facilities, NatureFresh Farms said it is committed to providing the same flavor and quality that consumers expect from Tomz grown in both Ontario and Ohio. The Tomz Snacking Tomato line includes red grape, orange grape, yellow grape, cocktail, and red cherry tomatoes, as well as the new Tomberry Tomatoes. "The Tomz line is sold in vibrant, convenient packaging, which will be easy to spot as products hit store shelves this season," the company said.
NatureFresh Farms also grows fresh Long English and mini cucumbers. With a recent expansion to boost production, cucumbers from NatureFresh Farms will be available year-round.
Produce grown in the company's Ontario greenhouses will be shipped to North American retailers starting in April 2018. But what Niels Klapwijk, the company’s Retail Account/Procurement Manager, is most excited about this season is the wide variety of Ontario-grown produce options now being offered by NatureFresh Farms: “By increasing the variety of commodities grown at our farm, NatureFresh is further defining itself as a leader within the fresh produce industry. This form of growth for the company is very exciting.”
With a diverse range of commodities now being grown in Leamington, ON, the company said it continues to develop its greenhouse operations to serve retail partners and respond to the evolving needs of the consumer.
