Canadian Fresh Produce Operators Celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving; Paul Mastronardi, Emily Murracas, Carlos Visconti, and Randi Church Share

CANADA - Thanksgiving is a time of connection and gratitude, in which we can express our appreciation for the people we love most. As our Northern neighbors celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, we reached out to several industry friends to learn what this holiday means to them, and their answers did not disappoint.

Paul Mastronardi, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mastronardi Produce®

“Thanksgiving reminds us that food is more than what's on the plate—it’s the centerpiece of connection, tradition, and memory. At Mastronardi Produce®, we’re grateful to play a role in the moments that matter most, bringing fresh, flavorful greenhouse produce to family tables where stories are shared and memories are made all year long.”

Carlos Visconti, Chief Executive Officer, Red Sun Farms

“Thanksgiving is a time for family, for celebrating the harvest, and for appreciating the many hands that make it possible. We are incredibly grateful to our entire Red Sun Farms team across Canada, the USA, and Mexico for their dedication and hard work in bringing fresh, nutritious goodness to our friends and neighbours—not just during the holiday season, but all year long.”

Emily Murracas, Director of Marketing, Mucci Farms

"From our dedicated team members to our retail partners and loyal consumers, we’re incredibly thankful for the relationships that make our work meaningful. We are reminded of the power of collaboration and the strength of our community, especially within the Canadian produce industry. As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on how grateful we are to grow fresh, flavourful produce that brings people together!"

Randi Church, Marketing Manager, WINDSET FARMS®

“This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the opportunity to grow healthy, fresh produce for our communities all year long. We’re thankful for the partnerships that help us continue to grow, from our business collaborators to local food banks, ensuring everyone has access to fresh, nutritious food on their tables.”

With a month left until our American Thanksgiving, let’s let the gratitude flow all season long!
