Village Farms is adding Heavenly Villagio Marzano and Maverick Mix tomatoes to its organic offerings, and will be showcasing a diverse range of products at the Canadian Produce Marketing Association trade show and conference.

The event, April 2-4 in Montreal, features a trade show on the last two days.

The two tomato products are available in 10-ounce and one-pound top-seal packaged containers, according to a news release.

“With the continued success of our Stackable Snackables line of top-seal packaged tomatoes the natural next step for us is to offer top-seal packaging for our new organic items that will provide all the same proven benefits to retailers and consumers,” Helen Aquino, director of corporate brand marketing & communication, said in the release.

The company is displaying the Stackable Snackables tomatoes with exclusive varieties that include Lorabella Blossom, Heavenly Villagio Marzano, Cabernet Estate Reserve and Lip Smackn’ Grape.

New seasonal items from Village Farms will “mix things up,” according to the release, including the new Chameleon Collection.

The company’s CPMA booth is No. 1405.
