ONTARIO, CANADA - Topline Farms is one producer that is constantly focused on advancing its portfolio through innovation—which is exactly why it is so exciting that the supplier is taking to this year’s Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) Convention and Trade Show. One of the offerings taking the spotlight is the greenhouse grower’s Apeel-protected Mini Cucumbers, which utilize the same innovative, shelf-life-extending technology that the company optimized to remove plastic from its long English cucumbers.

Dino Di Laudo, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Topline Farms“Apeel’s technology works to extend the life of produce with an edible, plant-based coating that keeps moisture in and oxygen out, ultimately preventing food waste,” explains Dino Di Laudo, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With sustainability increasingly on consumers’ minds, we’re excited to partner with Apeel again on this product to work toward a more sustainable food system using new technology.”

Attendees of this year’s show will also get a look at the grower’s new premium snacking tomato lineup, which capitalizes on multiple rising shopper demands.

“Topline Farms’ new product line is designed to cater to consumers who are looking for healthier snacking options that are both convenient and delicious. Our snacking tomatoes are picked to ensure the highest quality and flavor,” Dino shares. “With their small size and portability, these tomatoes are perfect for on-the-go snacking, lunchboxes, or as a healthy addition to any meal. Topline Farms’ commitment to providing fresh, high-quality, greenhouse-grown produce makes our new snacking tomato lineup a great choice as shoppers look to add more healthy options to their diet.”
