NatureFresh puts Leamington expansion on hold

At the time, CEO Peter Quiring said the Leamington operation, which employs between 300 and 400 seasonal employees, would not be negatively affected by the $220-million, 175-acre complex in Delta, Ohio. He also announced plans for a 32-acre expansion in Leamington by summer or fall of this year. However, those plans have been put on hold “for the time being,” said Veillon.

“It’s not on hold indefinitely. We are 100 per cent focused on selling our Ontario-grown product from our 130 acres in Leamington while also building phase two and three (30 acres) by November in the U.S. Our plates are pretty full right now,” added Veillon.
