Mucci Farms has acquired Greenhill Produce, a state-of-the-art, nearly 150-acre greenhouse facility in Kent Bridge, Ontario. As part of the newly established Cox Farms company, Mucci Farms continues to expand its work in sustainable agriculture, surpassing over 650 acres of greenhouses in Canada and the United States.
Following the recent acquisition of Hacienda Farms, a 160-acre facility in Coatsworth, Ontario, the Greenhill Produce acquisition reinforces the company's objective of being the leading supplier of sustainably grown fresh fruits and vegetables in North America.
"We've had the privilege of working closely with Greenhill for many years, so we know firsthand the exceptional quality of both their facilities and their crops," said Bert Mucci, CEO of Mucci Farms. "Bringing Greenhill into the Mucci family enhances our supply chain to offer more reliable supply for our partners."

Founded in 2000 as a six-acre greenhouse, Greenhill Produce has grown into a premier greenhouse grower. This first-generation family farm has best-in-class farming practices and cutting-edge robotics and automation.
"Having worked with the Mucci team for many years, the Geertsema family is proud to pass the torch to the Cox Farms and Mucci team, who share our values, passion, and drive to succeed. Their understanding of the greenhouse business and their farmers-first approach have always earned our respect," said Justin Geertsema, vice president and general manager at Greenhill.
The continued expansion of capabilities and scale boost Mucci's presence and ability to service retail, wholesale, and food service companies across the continent.
