DELTA, BC – To promote local, fresh, nutritious veggies; draw attention to sustainable farming practices; and grow the greenhouse sector, Village Farms is participating in BC Greenhouse Veggie Days as a member of the BC Greenhouse Growers’ Association.
“We are excited to be participating in BC Veggie Days again this year,” said Helen L. Aquino, Director of Brand Marketing & Communication, in a company press release. “It is a wonderful program that provides greater awareness of the greenhouse sector and gives consumers the chance to talk to our farmers about Village Farms sustainable growing methods.”
The event began Friday, May 26, and will run through Saturday, June 3. During the weeklong event, shoppers will see products stickered with the BC Greenhouse Veggie Days logo and point of sale materials highlighting local produce at 140 participating Real Canadian Superstore, Overwaitea, and independent store locations throughout British Columbia, Canada.
