he advantages of Veg Gro's superior vegetables are the result of many factors. There is no hesitation on the part of Veg Gro's principals to use the latest technologies and yet keep the growing process as natural as possible.

Veg Gro's greenhouse growing techniques have been culled from local and international sources making use of the best techniques known in the green house industry.

Among the advantages of Veg Gro's produce and operations are:

• Greenhouse tomatoes are pollinated the natural way using bumblebees whose hives are scattered all over the production area. Cucumbers, unlike tomatoes, are not pollinated (hence,the seedless nature of these crisp, 100% edible veggies.)

• Greenhouse cucumbers and tomatoes are grown with great care in carefully controlled environments, ensuring a high quality product with a superior shelf life

• Because integrated pest management is used (good bugs eating bad bugs), Veg Gro's hydroponic crops are virtually organic.

• Veg Gro is so close to the markets it serves, that shoppers can get safe, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes in as little as 24 hours.

• Veg Gro's hydroponic, or greenhouse, vegetables are grown in a nutrient-rich water solution. Because Veg Gro limits the use of pesticides through biological controls (good bugs eating bad bugs), our tomatoes and cucumbers are safe, natural, vine-ripened vegetables that are virtually pesticide free.



• Veg Gro's operations are in Leamington, Ontario, an area that has the largest concentration of the province's greenhouse producers. The remainder are in the Niagara peninsula and the Haldimand-Norfolk region. The Ontario industry is the largest in North America. This industry is supported by a highly organized and government regulated association - The Ontario Greenhouse Grower's Marketing Association.

• Veg Gro is now in the process of installing it's state-of-the-art packing process. In this process, each tomato is sorted by color, weight, size and diameter. This ensures consistent size, color and quality in all the packs going to wholesalers and retailers, which means more profit per pound.
