ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Packer caught up with Red Sun Farms at the International Fresh Produce Association’s recent Global Produce and Floral Show to learn more about the company’s seed-to-plate innovation.

As one of the largest vertically integrated greenhouses in North America, Red Sun Farms controls the entire process from propagation to climate-controlled indoor growing environments to its distribution centers and growing facilities in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. This translates to shorter delivery times and fresher produce.
