ATV Farms acquires Edmonton-based Sunfresh Farms

ATV Farms, an Ontario-based leader in agriculture for more than 20 years, has become Canada’s biggest grower/packer/distributor of root vegetables after acquiring Sunfresh Farms Ltd.

ATV Farms, which also owns Green Earth Organics, made the announcement February 27 at the Sunfresh Farms facility in Edmonton, Alberta.

The company, which is wholly family-owned, now operates more than 7,000 acres of farmland, as well as 300,000 square feet of state-of-the-art processing and packaging facilities. The strategic acquisition strengthens its ability to serve retail clients throughout Canada, the United States and the Caribbean more effectively.

Sunfresh Farms has supplied, processed and packaged fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers for more than 25 years. It’s one of the very few Canadian companies that grows, packages and distributes produce in Western Canada.

“This acquisition allows us to deliver our vegetables more quickly to our grocery partners wherever they are across the country. It aligns with our commitment to supplying the freshest and highest quality vegetables to customers,” says Travis Agresti, partner of ATV Farms.
