April 8, 2016, Leamington, Ont. — Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) has launched a “Spring into Flavour” promotion which features Ontario greenhouse tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers available now in Ontario grocery stores.

The growing demand for Ontario greenhouse vegetables is motivated by consumers’ healthy eating choices. OGVG growers have increased production to ensure the supply is abundant for Ontario consumers and retailers.

“We have received unprecedented support of this promotional program from key Ontario retailers,” said OGVG general manager Rick Seguin. “Consumers can now find Ontario greenhouse produce from their local greenhouse growers in stores across the province.”
