Oppy showcases lineup of Canadian-grown offerings and breakthrough strawberry project at CPMA
New products and expanded programs build bold vision at the grower, marketer and distributor
Oppy is set to make a strong impression at this year’s CPMA, inviting attendees to visit booth #601 to explore its expanding lineup of premium Canadian produce, alongside future-forward innovations sure to shape the berry category.
“We’re bringing a strong lineup and even stronger energy to the show. Our team is excited to connect and move the business forward with our customers and industry friends in Toronto,” said Director of Sales Steve Young.
Oppy will highlight a strong roster of Canadian partners delivering exceptional products:
• Perpetual Vegetable Co. is introducing its new seedless mini peppers with plans to scale in 2027, alongside its established lineup of English and mini cucumbers, and sweet bell peppers. The company continues to invest in the future, including misting systems to help maintain quality and size during expected summer heat, with additional plans to expand greenhouse lighting in 2026 and further in 2027.
• Origin Organic Farms remains a standout as the only greenhouse organic producer on Canada’s West Coast. Known for peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers grown to strict Canadian organic standards, OriginO utilizes innovative drainage and irrigation systems while enriching soil with organic plant matter from each growing cycle.
• UP Vertical Farms is expanding into the fast-growing microgreens segment, complementing its established salad blends. Its controlled environment agriculture system delivers 350 times the yield of conventional field-grown leafy greens, while using 99% less water and no pesticides, herbicides, manure fertilizers or soil.
Oppy will also share updates on its groundbreaking collaboration with DEEP Earth Energy Production (DEEP), marking three years of strategic alignment focused on redefining greenhouse agriculture.
“We’re excited about the progress we’ve made with DEEP,” said Category Director of Greenhouse Kevin Batt. “With increasing challenges tied to global weather patterns, this project represents one of the most promising solutions for the future of produce.”
The alliance is advancing plans for a first-of-its-kind greenhouse powered by geothermal energy, fully operated using renewable heat sourced from the earth. Construction on DEEP’s power plant is expected to begin later this year, laying the foundation for what aims to be one of Canada’s greenest and most innovative greenhouse facilities.
The project will focus on premium strawberries, one of the most influential drivers of the berry category. With demand continuing to rise, Oppy sees an opportunity to deliver a consistent, high-quality supply grown with minimal environmental impact.
“Strawberries are a catalyst for the berry category, and it’s a loss for everyone when they’re not available. With the runway we’re building, the best berry is yet to come, grown in what we believe will be the greenest greenhouse of its kind,” added Batt.
Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with Oppy at CPMA to explore these offerings as well as speak to the team about the exciting items on their way this season, from its citrus and Soluna apples from Australia, South African and New Zealand apples, pomegranates from Peru, and much more.
