ATLANTA — Red Sun Farms has its eye on the future. Whether its new varieties, greenhouse development or expanding its acreage, the company is on a path of growth, company President Jim DiMenna told The Packer at the recent International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce and Floral Show.

The Ontario-based greenhouse grower has farms in Canada and the U.S. as well as Mexico, where Red Sun Farms is the largest high-tech greenhouse producer, DiMenna said.

With the conscious consumer and the environment in mind, Red Sun Farms offers a number of sustainable packaging options and recyclable solutions.

“We want to deliver a good eating experience — a good product — and [at the same time], offer the best packaging we can for the environment,” DiMenna said.

Red Sun Farms also featured its Sweetpops “flagship” tomatoes and new Empress grape-size purple tomatoes, rich in antioxidants.
