According to an interview with The Packer.com, Wholesum Family Farms increased production of its organic coloured bell peppers and squash this season and plans to build a greenhouse for organic beefsteak tomatoes next year. The facility is expected to be 3 hectares (8 acres) of greenhouse in Sonora, Mexico.
“We had just opened a brand new facility last year and were thinking about putting in another greenhouse this summer for organic beefsteak but decided to delay," Ricardo Crisantes of Wholesum Family Farms said to The Packer. “But now we feel confident that we’ve got the right people, so we’re pulling the trigger for this spring to start building a greenhouse to be ready by July 2014 to add capacity on organic beefsteak tomatoes.”
