Mucci chose lettuce as KingsOne Farms’ focus because of its potential and importance to consumers. “Here in Canada, over 80% of our lettuce is imported from the U.S. so there’s tremendous opportunity in this space, especially when it’s sustainably grown with a premium emphasis on cleanliness.  We can provide high-quality product 365 days a year,” he says. 

KingsOne Farms will be a 6.5-acre facility, with production slated to begin this fall. The greenhouse will be designed with cutting-edge technology and automation to maximize efficiency and production. The operation will produce nearly 210,000 heads of lettuce each week, totaling nearly 11 million heads annually.

Mucci’s goals for KingsOne go beyond production numbers. “My aim is to grow lettuce that’s clean, nutritious, and tastes great,” he says. “I want people to feel confident that the food they’re eating is safe and good for them.”
