Windset Farms Introduces New Exciting Tomato

Delta, BC – Windset Farms®, headquartered in Delta, BC, is proud to introduce their newest tomato item under their Cameo® Elite brand to the North American market in partnership with Axia Vegetable Seeds (The Netherlands). “We believe Axiany, our newest tomato variety, will set the taste bar for tomatoes in North America”, explains John Newell, COO at Windset Farms. “This variety is exceptionally sweet with a great taste profile”, according to Newell.

An exciting spin on the cherry tomato, Cameo® Elite tomatoes will be enjoyed by every tomato connoisseur. This tomato variety has particularly high brix levels with a lovely, sweet bite that makes it perfect for snacking. Windset Farms will be offering Cameo® Elite in various pack sizes and styles designed for every customer, including snack formats and top sealed packages.

“We are very excited to partner with Windset Farms who are not only great marketers of greenhouse products in North America, but we consider one of the best tomato growers in the world”, says Alois van Vliet, CEO of Axia Vegetable Seeds. “They uphold the same care, attention and passion for growing as we do in creating our seeds”. Windset is currently growing Cameo® Elite tomatoes year round in some of the most technologically advanced greenhouses in the world, while utilizing sustainable growing systems such as solar panels for electricity production and water management systems to enhance water conservation.

The new Cameo® Elite tomato will be one of the first Windset Farms products that will be packaged in top seal technology. “Our goal is to provide reliable, healthy and nutritious food that meets the demands of an increasing population and a delicate planet,” says Newell. “Top seal will help us reduce consumable packaging by up to 20%, enabling us to further enhance our sustainability efforts.” Come try out Cameo® Elite for yourself at PMA Fresh Summit at the Windset Farms® Booth (#1359)!
