Sherrington, Quebec
Sherrington is where Vegpro took root and developed its activities. This location hosts our head office where management operations are carried out (engineering, research and development, etc.), in addition to:
- Our corporate farm, the largest in Canada, dedicated to growing baby lettuce and other vegetables (romaine lettuce, carrots, onions) from May to October. We are renowned for our numerous research projects and innovative practices.
- Our packaging centre, for Fresh Attitude brand ready-to-eat salads, which remains operational year-round. 500 of our colleagues take turns working at our 200,000 sq. ft. facility, 7 days a week and 18 hours a day, to operate 12 washing and packaging lines.
- Our storage, washing and packaging centre for carrots and onions, covering 160,000 sq. ft. and also operational year-round.
- Our future greenhouse complex measuring 12.8 acres, the only one of its kind in the country, that will produce year-round an exclusive line of crisp lettuce sold under the Folia brand. This will be accomplished without pesticides and, in order to reduce our energy consumption, through the use of aerothermal, heat recovery and LED lighting systems.
