Eco-Friendly Never Tasted As Good As Village Farms’ Sinfully Sweet Campari™ Tomato, A Natural Success
Village Farms Sinfully Sweet Campari™ tomato packs more in flavor and versatility than the average variety. Low in acidity with an exceptionally sweet taste, Campari is known for its firm juicy flavor. The Campari variety is owned and bred by Enza Zaden seed company in Holland and distributed in North America through Westgro. Exceptional sales results of Sinfully Sweet Campari™ have further strengthened and secured Village Farms long term relationship with Westgro and Enza Zaden.
Campari tomatoes are just one of the many eco-friendly hydroponically grown varieties here at Village Farms. Well before sustainability became a buzzword, Village Farms was pioneering environmentally responsible farming practices at every stage of our Hydroperfect® growing process, from germination to harvest. Raising produce hydroponically instead of field growing generates a wealth of environmental benefits. Village Farms is on the forefront in water conservation, soil and land preservation, and integrated pest management. Food safety is of primary importance and our Hydroperfect® greenhouses make food safer to eat by eliminating contamination from runoff that can carry E.coli, salmonella, or microorganisms.
Throughout Village Farms we are focused on creating a minimal carbon footprint. To showcase our investment in the environment we will feature dynamic product improvements for Sinfully Sweet Campari™ at this year’s Produce Marketing Association (PMA), ‘Fresh Summit’, in Orlando. As North America’s premier grower of hydroponic produce, not to mention the company with the highest Primus Food Safety scores in the industry, as well as the tomato production facility with the highest yield achieved without artificial lighting and free of pesticides, Village Farms proves what’s good for the earth is also good for business.
