NatureFresh™ Farms Kicks Off 2018 Growing Season With New Organic Sweet Bell and Mini Sweet Peppers
LEAMINGTON, ON - NatureFresh™ Farms has started full production for the 2018 season at its Leamington, ON, greenhouses, and it has a few new things in store.

“By increasing the variety of commodities grown at our farm, NatureFresh is further defining itself as a leader within the fresh produce industry,” commented Retail Account/Procurement Manager Niels Klapwijk. “This form of growth for the company is very exciting.”
Now adding organic sweet mini peppers for North American consumers to its previous options of organic sweet bell peppers, the company said in a press release that the 2018 season is especially exciting for bell pepper growing because of this recent expansion of organically-grown offerings.

- The newly-introduced Tomberry® Tomatoes
- Red Grape
- Orange Grape
- Yellow Grape
