Sweet-PacProduce
Delivering Field Fresh
Farming fresh produce and delivering it to local grocers is how Scotlynn got its start. Through meticulous care, well-tended fields, and a standard-setting level of quality, our produce became an early success. While our company has evolved greatly since those early days, we’ve stayed true to our roots.
We grow our Sweet-Pac produce on some of the finest farmland on the continent. With fields situated in various growing regions, we’re able to offer an assortment of produce that’s grown and nurtured to perfection.
We partner with growers and farming families who share the same love for fresh, locally-farmed produce that we do. Every one of our vegetables is grown with care.
We work closely with all of our growers to provide the guidance and resources they need to grow produce to our high Sweet-Pac standards. We help each farm produce optimal yields while paying careful attention to sustainability and safety. We care about what we grow and how we grow it. That means ensuring those who work Sweet-Pac fields, like the seasonal farm workers who provide incredible expertise each growing season, are working in safe conditions that meet our stringent standards.
We grow more than produce – we grow opportunities.
The People Behind the Produce
Behind every cob of corn, melon, asparagus spear, or pumpkin, is a team of hardworking experts. The skill, expertise, and hard work of our growers – day in, day out – creates the best conditions for the most flavorful, nutrient-rich produce.
Stewardship of Our Resources
The fertile soil of North America’s farmland is an invaluable resource. Our farms feed families, and we recognize the care that must be taken to ensure the sustainability of our fields for generations to come.
Commitment to Our Community
Our strength is our people. And in order to support our people, we must support their communities. Each member of our team is encouraged and empowered to support initiatives that improve and invigorate the communities we serve.
What We Grow
Sweet Corn
Our sweet corn is a staple at dinner tables and barbecues across the continent. Using a combination of the latest growing practices and old-fashioned hard work, fields are managed based on the specific variety of sweet corn being grown. The efforts and expertise of our growers results in corn with an exceptionally sweet flavour that makes it a family favorite.
Melons
We grow and nurture nature’s refreshing, nutrient-packed summer snack. Using fertile farmland in optimal climate regions and the expertise of our growers, we deliver flavorful watermelon to retailers in the U.S. and Canada.
Asparagus
Fresh asparagus is a highly nutritious and tasty item on the menus of restaurants and family kitchens across North America. Our expert growers monitor the temperature, soil conditions, and the crop growth to harvest the spears at the right time – optimizing the flavor and texture.
Pumpkins
Heading into fall, many of our fields become decorated with the brilliant orange of our pumpkins. Thanks to the care and expertise of our growers, Scotlynn pumpkins are found at major North American retailers in the weeks leading up to Halloween – often transforming into spooky jack-o’-lanterns or delicious Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.
The Rewards of Local Growth
We work closely with all of our growers to ensure produce is grown to our high Sweet-Pac standards. We help each farm produce optimal yields while ensuring careful attention to sustainability and safety. We care about what we grow and how we grow it. That means ensuring those who work Sweet-Pac fields, like seasonal farm workers who provide incredible expertise each growing season, are working in safe conditions that meet our stringent standards. In many of our fields we’re growing more than produce – we’re growing opportunities.
Food Safety
Nothing is more important than the safety of the families and communities we feed. Our stringent adherence to food safety protocols is instituted across our organization and cannot be compromised. All of our growers and produce team members are formally trained to maintain our high safety standards, so we can stand behind our produce with confidence and pride.
Passionate About Produce
Since Scotlynn began, we’ve been passionate about our produce. We’re growing and delivering the freshest, most flavorful vegetables for the families in our communities – nutritious treats at snack and mealtime. We’re proud to provide opportunities for growers to enhance their expertise by supporting them with the knowledge and resources to do what they do best.
Driven to Deliver, Better
Scotlynn began as an agricultural company with a need to get fresh produce to market. Our early success was the result of our drive to provide customers with better, fresher products. The core values of how we do what we do hasn’t changed a bit.
Today, Scotlynn is North America’s premier logistics and transportation provider, specializing in time-sensitive refrigerated produce. Every aspect of our operation highlights our passion for doing it better. Each day, we see this in our attention to detail, our open communication, our state-of-the-art equipment, and our comprehensive farming procedures.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our equipment and innovative technology, but our people – with their critical thinking, proactive communication, and deep expertise – are the reason we deliver.
At Scotlynn, people drive us.
