The West Coast
Advantage
Coldstream is where Vegpro took root and developed its activities. This location hosts our head office where management operations are carried out (engineering, research and development, etc.), in addition to:
- A 2,300-acre corporate farm dedicated to growing baby lettuces and other vegetables (romaine lettuce, carrots, onions) from May to October. As Canada’s largest mesclun and young shoots farm, we are renowned for our numerous research projects and innovative practices.
- A 200,000 sq. ft. packaging centre for Fresh Attitude brand ready-to-eat salads, operational year-round. It boasts 12 washing and packaging lines which are active 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. Over 500 people work there each week.
- A 160,000 sq. ft. storage, washing and packaging centre for carrots and onions, operational year-round.
- A brand-new 12.8-acre greenhouse complex, the only one of its kind in the country, that will produce year-round an exclusive line of crisp lettuces sold under the Folia brand. This will be accomplished without pesticides and, in order to reduce our energy consumption, through the use of aerothermal, heat recovery and LED lighting systems.
