Mastronardi Produce and Golden Fresh Farms have announced an exclusive agreement between the two companies to bring Mastronardi’s Sunset brand produce to more consumers throughout the US.
Ohio becomes the fifth state that the Sunset brand will be grown locally in, allowing the company to reach over 75 per cent of the country's population, delivering a local flavourful fruit in less than a ten-hour drive.
“Luis Chibante is a fantastic grower and operator. I’ve known him for years,” stated Mastronardi Produce resident and CEO Paul Mastronardi. “His passion and expertise in growing will enable both of us to expand the Ohio footprint together.”
Ohio Proud allows loyal consumers to choose great tasting products that help support their local communities and ensures freshness.
“I’m excited to join Paul and the Sunset team with our new crop starting this fall,” noted Chibante, president and owner of Golden Fresh Farms. “Mastronardi is the best growing and marketing company in the greenhouse industry, and this will give us the opportunity we need to expand the next 15 acres.”
Currently the greenhouse grows approximately 20 acres of tomatoes year-round with advanced supplemental lighting.
