Double Diamond Acres in Leamington, ON, increased its acreage in the past year, most of which is dedicated to cucumber production.

“Customer demand is strong, and we needed more cucumber production in order to keep up with it,” said owner Chris Mastronardi. “The regular seedless cucumbers as well as the mini cucumbers are in high demand today. This is a market-driven trend.”

Village Farms reach is as wide as its grasp, with greenhouses and distribution centers located throughout North America dedicated to growing a variety of product and getting it onto store shelves and into end consumers’ kitchens.
