Mastronardi Produce is a family greenhouse business headquarted in Kingsville, Ontario. Founded in 1954, our roots span over 60 years to the founding of the greenhouse industry. Before Grandpa Umberto Mastronardi came along, there were no commercial greenhouses in North America; he pioneered the industry to provide consumers with fresh greenhouse grown vegetables. After four generations, the Mastronardi family still owns and manages what is now the leading greenhouse vegetable company on the continent, growing and selling world-class brand tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and berries under the SUNSET® and Backyard Farms® brands.
Today, in the spirit of Grandpa Mastronardi, we continue to pioneer new greenhouse technology and sustainable growing practices to better our business and environment. And while we use the latest technology, we still keep some things old fashioned, like the way our produce is vine-ripened and hand-picked to ensure the highest quality possible. It’s our way of staying true to our roots, while delivering unbeatable flavor.
