KINGSVILLE, ON - Marking a new milestone in growth, Mucci Farms has acquired Hacienda North Farms, a Coatsworth, Ontario-based greenhouse facility.
“Working directly with Hacienda Farms for several years has given us insight into the facilities and the quality product that’s grown there,” said Bert Mucci, Chief Executive Officer, Mucci Farms. “Bringing them into our fold presents an exciting opportunity to further enhance our ability to meet the needs of our retail partners.”
The deal brings a 160-acre state-of-the-art greenhouse facility under the Mucci umbrella, but beyond this, the grower stated how Hacienda North Farms has been a valued grower partner of Mucci Farms for nearly a decade, specializing in the cultivation of quality bell peppers.
With this acquisition, Mucci Farms expands its cutting-edge greenhouse footprint, facilitating the company to elevate its offerings and better serve its retail partners, according to a press release. In addition to the prominent greenhouse facility, the acquisition includes a significant land bank spanning 120 acres, providing plenty of potential for further expansion and innovation in the future.
“This is a pivotal moment in the Cox Farms and Mucci Farms journey,” said Steven Bradley, President of Cox Farms. Cox Farms, itself a newly launched business Mucci Farms became a part of, is committed to setting the global standard in growing fresh produce for a growing population. “This strategic investment underscores our dedication to leading the industry to ensure we meet the evolving needs of consumers. Together, we are committed to scaling operations and enhancing access to sustainably grown produce.”
Both companies noted how the partnership between Mucci Farms and Cox Farms continues to yield fruitful results as the greenhouse grower expands its presence across North America.
Continuing its commitment to growth, innovation, and success, it’s clear Mucci Farms is laying the groundwork to further explore everything from market flexibility to profile diversification in the ever-changing fresh environment.
