Kingsville, ON


Sunset Grown Farms is a fourth-generation family-owned produce company that pioneered commercial greenhouse growing in North America, founded by Umberto Mastronardi in the 1940s. The Mastronardi family continues his vision by focusing on sustainability, and combining modern technology with tradition to grow exceptional Non-GMO produce. They source innovative and flavorful varieties globally, cultivating them in state-of-the-art greenhouses where they ripen on the vine and are hand-picked at peak ripeness. This controlled environment protects crops from pests and weather, ensuring year-round availability of delicious fruits and vegetables. Sunset Farms practices sustainability by collecting and reusing rainwater, which reduces water usage by up to ten times compared to traditional farming. As a Safe Quality Food certified company, they minimize chemical use by employing natural pest control methods. Their facilities utilize skylights for natural light and energy-efficient lighting, further reducing their carbon footprint.
