KINGSVILLE, ON - Mastronardi Produce, pioneers of commercial greenhouse growing in North America, is pleased to announce the addition of two high-tech greenhouses into its U.S. farm distribution network. The two greenhouses, located in Minnesota and Iowa, add an additional 48 acres to Mastronardi’s expanding U.S. greenhouse network.

The greenhouses, which currently grow a variety of tomatoes and strawberries, provide a strategic location for the Mastronardi Produce network. Increasing its domestic U.S. production is a key priority for the industry leader. An evolving consumer base has changed how people shop and the products they shop for, with locally grown produce being top of mind for many consumers.

Paul Mastronardi, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mastronardi Produce®/SUNSET®

“Consumer preferences and shopping habits are changing fast and we're re-aligning our portfolio to address these factors," said Paul Mastronardi, President and CEO of Mastronardi Produce, in the recent release. "Having more facilities across the U.S. allows us to deliver the diverse set of products consumers seek out, while shortening trips from our greenhouses to retailers and keeping products at peak flavor and freshness."
