Strawberry wholesale distribution agreement signed by Affinor Growers

Affinor Growers Inc. announced Feb. 15 that it has signed a non-exclusive agreement with Berrymobile Fruit Distribution Inc. for the distribution of Affinor’s strawberries. Berrymobile is a Vancouver, British Columbia-based-distribution company that supports and promotes fruit farmers in British Columbia.

Berrymobile partners with retailers across major grocery banners in the Lower Mainland.

Affinor’s vertical farming showcase located in Abbotsford, BC is now completely operational. The company expects to launch its vine-ripened cultivar strawberries from Holland in selected stores in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia. The premium, sustainable, greenhouse and soil grown strawberries will be marketed in new compostable packaging under the Company’s own “Eco-spirit” branding.

“This is the tipping point for Affinor. Achieving revenue by breaking into commercial fruit markets is the milestone that validates our technology and QA processes,” Affinor CEO Nick Brusatore said in a news release. “I expect that this will accelerate our strawberry production scale-up plan in Abbotsford, lead to additional fruit and vegetable operations across Western Canada, as well as spur vertical growing technology and greenhouse sales.”

Affinor is a publicly traded company focused on developing vertical farming technologies and using those technologies to grow fruits and vegetables in a sustainable manner. The company is currently growing strawberries for local markets in its 15,000-square-foot greenhouse in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
