This year Red Sun Farms' Sweetpops took home the 2022 Hottest Tomato, for the Bite Size Tomato Award at the 2022 Greenhouse Competition in Leamington, ON.

“We truly believe that our Sweetpop tomatoes are absolutely the best-tasting tomato, but it is an honor to have them recognized as having the Hottest Bite Size tomato amongst a community that specializes in greenhouse perfection,” said Carlos Visconti, Red Sun CEO of Canada and U.S. operations.

Nature Fresh Farms once again claimed top honors at the annual Greenhouse Competitions, receiving recognition for its red Bell pepper and Black Label Hiiros, which won Best Overall in their respective categories.

With the help of Apeel Sciences, Westmoreland Topline Farms will begin shipping greenhouse grown cucumbers without the plastic covering to retailers in the U.S. and Canada starting in June 2022.

Carlos Visconti, CEO for the United States and Canadian operations of Red Sun Farms, is looking forward to an exciting 2022 and big things for the greenhouse growing industry.
