As part of the agreement, Mucci Farms will also open two new distribution centres in Camarillo, CA and Delta, B.C. “It’s an exciting day as this establishes a presence for us out West. Partnering with the well-respected Houweling’s team gives us a strong starting point in the region as we look to expand our reach across the continent,” said Bert Mucci, CEO of Mucci Farms. “Houweling’s growing team lives up to its slogan of 'Mastery Under Glass' and we look forward to bringing its premium product into the Mucci Group.”
This partnership will benefit from the growing expertise of Bert Mucci and Casey Houweling who are both 2nd generation growers with a passion and drive to further the industry through advanced growing practices and innovation. “We were looking for a marketing company that would meet the needs of what we grow and that can maximize the returns for quality produce. It was important to chose a marketer who understands not only what it takes to market, but also understands what it takes to grow great quality produce,” said Casey Houweling, who will oversee the growing operation alongside his daughter Monica Paulson. “We also focus heavily on growing in a sustainable manner by using waste energy, closed-loop recycling systems and biological pest controls to minimize the impact on the planet.” Year-round production of a variety of tomatoes and cucumbers starts mid-October.
