Growers
Co-Operative
As the oldest agricultural co-operative in Canada, Vineland Growers has been distributing tender fruit (peaches, plums, grapes, etc.) on behalf of Ontario farmers since its inception in 1913. Vineland Growers has been rapidly expanding and has outgrown its existing two owned sites, three rented sites, and over 100 storage trailers across the Niagara Region. With the support and guidance of NPG Planning Solutions on policy work and planning, Vineland Growers was able to secure approvals and support to develop a new 21 acre site outside of Beamsville, Ontario. The new site thoughtfully consolidates many of Vineland Growers’ activities in one location.
