'A natural thing to do.' Farmers ramp up donations of un-sellable, but edible, produce
Dominion Farms in Bradford, Ont., one of increasing number of farms diverting fruits and veggies to food banks.
"Supporting Daily Bread Food Bank since 2007, Dominion Farms Produce understand the importance of providing nutritious food and each week Daily Bread is able to depend on them through their regular donations of healthy and fresh produce. To date, they have donated over 1.5 million pounds worth of food donations! We are so excited to announce, Dominion Farm Produce for winning the 2015 Food Industry Donor Award!"
"We at Dominion Farms are extremely honoured and humbled to have been chosen Food Industry Donor of the Year," said Tony Tomizza, General Manager. "For almost ten years, we have been blessed to be able to donate fresh, locally grown carrots and onions weekly. Dominion Farms will continue to support the wonderful folks at the food bank who work so hard to help 90,000 hungry every year."
OUR HISTORY
Dominion Farms opened its current location in 1965 in Bradford. Dissette Street was opened up specifically to house the new processing, packing, storage and shipping facility.
Dominion needed a central depot where many smaller growers could bring their vegetables to be packed and distributed. Nino Tomizza wanted the use of fresh, cold, safe town water to wash the marsh crops and needed to be in town so that CN Railway could deliver railcars of carrots and potatoes right to its location.
In 1973 Nino and Louis Devald signed a joint-venture agreement where Gro-Pak Farms would take care of growing, storage and harvesting 185 acres of crops and Dominion would process, grade, pack and market the crops.
Dominion has and continues to expand and update its storage, cooling and packing facility throughout the years always keeping quality and service at the forefront.
