Millennium Pacific strengthens West Coast supply with California Grown snacking tomato program

Vertically integrated greenhouse supplier Millennium Pacific Greenhouses is spotlighting its growing portfolio of California Grown snacking tomatoes, with multiple varieties grown in both loose and on-the-vine formats to meet growing consumer demand across the West Coast.

USA production occurs at the company’s greenhouse in Tehachapi, California, in controlled environment conditions. Retail response has been strong across the board.

“Consumers continue to gravitate toward snacking tomatoes for their convenience, flavor and versatility, and retailers have taken notice,” said Brandon Gruenberger, vice president of sales. “Our California Grown program has delivered exactly what the market wants — consistent quality, reliable winter supply and a flavor profile that stands out on the shelf.”

The company’s acquisition of a 62-acre high-tech greenhouse facility in California earlier this fall significantly expands its U.S. footprint, while the ongoing expansion of its Delta, British Columbia facilities, scheduled for completion next summer, further enhances year-round capacity.

“As a family-owned business, growth and expansion aren’t just milestones — they’re essential to meeting the rising demand of our retail partners every single week of the year,” said Reza Bahktiyari, senior vice president. “Our investment in California and British Columbia reflects our commitment to delivering premium quality, increasing supply resilience and ensuring that exciting things continue to come from Millennium Pacific.”

As a participant in the California Grown program, Millennium Pacific remains dedicated to supporting local agriculture, sustainable practices and regional food systems.

In 2026, with expanded acreage, increased capacity and new innovations underway, Millennium Pacific is accelerating both its brand and R&D efforts across varieties, commodities and refreshed consumer focused packaging.
