At Greenhill Produce
we are committed to producing high quality red,
yellow and orange sweet bell peppers. Our
high-tech greenhouse structure allows us to
control most aspects of our plants’ environment;
we are able to “baby” our peppers, giving them
exactly what they need in order to ensure proper
size and colour, as well as long shelf life.
We have
initiated a Food Safety program which is
monitored by OGVG and audited by Guelph Food
Technology Center (www.gftc.ca).
In addition, we control insect and disease
pressure through our Integrated Pest Management
program and bio-security measures.
We are continually
experimenting with different varieties of
peppers and growing techniques; we are always
looking for ways to improve our operation and
strive for the best product we can provide.
Of course, growing the product is only part of
the process here at Greenhill Produce. We ship
540,000 boxes of peppers per year that cover a
wide range of sizes, but we specialize in XL
production (185-255 grams). Approximately 75%
of our yearly production falls in the XL
category. Each pepper we ship is weighed before
being individually inspected and hand-packed
into a box.
We know it is impossible to grow perfection, but
it is our goal to ship perfection.
We package all of our product
for Mastronardi Produce Ltd., under the Sunset
label (www.sunsetproduce.com).
