Red Sun Farms has always been associated as being a leader within the greenhouse industry. Through its vertically integrated business model, it ensures the highest level of quality in all its products.

This year, their level of quality had been commended as Red Sun Farms has taken top honors in various categories at the 2018 Annual Greenhouse Competition.

This competition which takes place every year in Leamington, ON, showcases some of the largest greenhouse growers in North America, and awards their produce through various categories such as Hottest Tomato, Perfect Pepper and Coolest Cucumber.

This year, Red Sun Farms came away with three first-place awards and one second-place award:

• 1st place Best Hothouse Mini Seedless Cucumbers — Red Sun Farms Mini Cucumbers;
• 2nd place Best Hothouse Cluster tomato — Red Sun Farms Specialty Tomatoes on the Vine;
• 1st place Best Hothouse Roma Tomatoes — Red Sun Farms Roma Tomatoes;
• 1st place Best Hothouse Specialty Tomato — Red Sun Farms Gourmet Cherry on the Vine.

“These awards solidify what we already knew, in that we have some of best products available on the market. The recognition of our produce is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team here at Red Sun,” said Carlos Visconti, chief executive officer for Canada and United States operations.

All funds raised from the Greenhouse Competitions go to R.E.A.CH. International. This local charity has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to build schools and clinics, drill water wells and sponsor and care for impoverished children in Uganda.
