 JW> Mastronardi Produce ... in Leamington ... Campari variety of
 JW> tomatoes.

 DS> grown in their 800 acre green house.

That's the total. Their largest single greenhouse is 64 acres in
size, which is still huge. One acre is 43,560 sf in size and there
are 640 acres in a square mile.

 DS> Now we see them as being "product of Mexico"

They started in Leamington, Ontario which is the centre of Canada's
field tomato farming country, bought out a Detroit based wholesaler
so they could distribute there, then starting building greenhouses
all over Michegan, then Florida and Colorado and now Mexico as well.

They also bought out Backyard Farms of Maine and many others, so
they probaly have al ot more locations than I've listed.

As well they own and sell under the tradmark "Sunset".
