KINGSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA - In an industry as large as ours, being named the hottest in any category is an impressive feat. Red Sun Farms has proven its prowess in the tomato category, as the greenhouse supplier’s popular Sweetpops were recently named the 2022 Hottest Tomato in the Bite Size Tomato category at the 2022 Greenhouse Competition in Leamington, Ontario, Canada.
“We truly believe that our Sweetpop Tomatoes are absolutely the best-tasting tomato, but it is an honor to have them recognized as having the Hottest Bite Size tomato amongst a community that specializes in greenhouse perfection,” said Carlos Visconti, Chief Executive Officer of Canada and United States Operations. “Red Sun Farms is known for our innovative agricultural practices, our commitment to sustainability, the hard work and dedication of our team, and these awards strengthen those foundations. This event not only calls attention to the greenhouse industry, but also educates the public on where their food comes from.”
All funds raised from the Greenhouse Competition go to R.E.A.C.H. International, a press release noted.
The charity has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to build schools and clinics, drill wells for fresh water, and sponsor and care for impoverished children in Africa.
President of R.E.A.CH. International Art Barron commented on the exciting award.
“This is the 15th year for these unique competitions that have been running since 2007 to celebrate Essex County for being the largest greenhouse industry in North America. And the charity, which runs the annual event, uses the proceeds from the competition to sponsor over 50 children in Uganda, Africa, annually. These sponsorships give the children and teens food, school supplies, medicine, and everything else they need to get an education and break the cycle of poverty,” said Barron.
Red Sun Farms supports this charity not only through its involvement in the competition, but also through its continued sponsorship of the event.
We here at AndNowUKnow extend a hearty congratulations to Red Sun Farms on this achievement! We look forward to seeing what's next for the greenhouse grower.
