Bringing quality, fresh taste and passion to gourmet greenhouse items from our home to yours!

We are proud to be located in the heart of the greenhouse industry in Kingsville and Leamington, Ontario, Canada.

Our organic mini-cucumbers have different sprays, different growing processes and have designated areas so the commodities do not interact. There are very strict guidelines that we have to follow in order to have our organic mini cucumbers keep their designation.

Our produce is GMO free.

Growing hydroponically within a greenhouse means more control over our crops. Growing indoors allows us to grow for a much longer period of time and also allows us to produce higher yields. We can regulate the temperature, humidity and much more in our greenhouses to optimize our crops ability to grow. We are able to mimic essentials used outdoors within our greenhouses. For example, DelFrescoPure® uses bumblebees in our greenhouses to pollinate our plants. This method of growing allows us to grow in safe and economic conditions in order to supply quality produce to a large population.

Hydroponic farming is an innovative form of agriculture that involves using a soilless medium to produce our crops. DelFrescoPure® uses rock wool which is the most widely used medium in hydroponic farming. Rock wool is an inert stone wool substance that is free from diseases or any other harmful contaminants.

Growing hydroponically allows us to consume less from our earth. We use modern hydroponic techniques to recycle and purify our water through a high-tech water treatment process. We can control and recycle the water usage within our farms which reduces the runoff effect to the environment. We have a closed recycling system which results in virtually no contamination of lakes or any water streams. Since we do not use any soil to grow our crops, there is less runoff or degradation of soil. Growing hydroponically also allows us to grow on unproductive lands, thus freeing up good agricultural acreages.

DelFrescoPure® monitors our greenhouses using the most advanced computer software and technology. We use this technology to monitor water, control heat, humidity and more for the most effective growing conditions. This process enforces our commitment to food quality, safety and sustainability.

Integrated Pest Management: system for sustainability. The short version of this method is that we use the good bugs to fight off the bad bugs. We use an array of beneficial insects to minimize or eliminate other harmful insects. We drastically reduce the need to spray our crop because of the IPM system.

We also use bumble bees to pollinate our plants.

We are available in Canada at Sobeys, Walmart, Giant Tiger, Farm Boy and Metro.

In the US we are available at Marc’s, Whole Foods, and Weis Markets.
