Growers

We're a company that connects with people on a level that runs deeper than signed contracts and filled purchase orders.

Grown in Trust™

“Grown in Trust” is our mantra and we stay true to this promise with the growers we choose to work with. While most of our produce comes from Western Canada, we source and grow products with partners from all over the planet. We work with fair practice growers who look after workers, their lands and the environment all while operating third-party certified, food safe farms.

Family Farms, not Factory Farms

When you buy produce from Thomas Fresh, you’re buying from established farms that have passed rigorous third-party inspections and who have maintained a good safety record. We can supply you with potatoes from all four Western Canadian provinces; root crops from America’s Pacific Northwest and California and celery, onions, lettuce, and other conventional produce from respected farms located across North America and Asia.

Thomas Fresh sources organics from North America and around the world. Our local growers produce a whole line of organic products. In Asia, we work with the Dongsheng Agricultural Group that operates eight farms, including two organic farms in citrus and pear growing regions.

New Growers

Thomas Fresh is always seeking established growers with quality produce. We ship and repack conventional, specialty, and organic produce and we’re always looking for new growers to partner with. While we supply one of the largest varieties of exotic produce in Canada, we are always seeking more varieties.

Grow With Us

If you’re interested in becoming a grower for us, you’ll need to have your farm inspected and certified by Canada GAP, USDA GAP, or Global GAP. Organic growers need to complete third-party inspections by approved organizations. We recommend that our growers have farm traceability programs in place for storage alignments, so we can trace every product we sell from a food safety standpoint back to your specific farm and field.
