KINGSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA - Only a few weeks ago, Mucci Farms made an announcement that it was expanding further with the acquisition of Hacienda North Farms. Building off of this, the company reported an additional expansion with the addition of a 32-acre greenhouse in Tehachapi, California.
"Our focus has always been about expanding access and providing additional support and resources to our retail partners across the continent,” stated Bert Mucci, Chief Executive Officer, Mucci Farms. “Our goal is to continue to scale operations to offer partners a national supply of greenhouse grown fruits and vegetables."
This move comes in partnership with Cox Farms, a business entity of Cox Enterprises focused on greenhouse-grown food and agriculture.
"Cox Farms is committed to helping families access locally grown fruits and vegetables,” added Steve Bradley, President, Cox Farms. "Together with Mucci Farms, we aim to drive positive change in the industry while delivering on our promise of quality and environmental responsibility."
According to a press release, this latest expansion into south-central California follows Mucci Farms' successful entry into the region with its Camarillo facility in 2021.
The company's presence now extends across key locations in the United States and Canada, including U.S. headquarters in Huron, Ohio, which features a 72-acre greenhouse.
Mucci Farms also has distribution hubs in San Antonio, Texas, and Romulus, Michigan. On the West Coast, Mucci Farms operates facilities in Camarillo, California, and Delta, British Columbia.
