An 11-acre greenhouse in southern Alberta has become the lone supplier of leafy greens for Wendy's fast-food restaurants across the country.
An 11-acre greenhouse in southern Alberta has become the lone supplier of leafy greens for Wendy’s fast-food restaurants across the country.
The massive greenhouse has been in operation for more than three years, and senior director of sales Rindi Bristol said she believes scale was important for a big brand like Wendy’s, as Whole Leaf is able to harvest 40,000-60,000 heads of lettuce six days a week. “Our test market was in Atlantic Canada, and so our product was pushed to the limits of shelf life, of quality, of colour, of transportation [and] of maintaining supply chain,” she said.
