Greenhouse produce grower scaling cloud infrastructure and ERP modernization
Mastronardi Produce operates a multi-brand greenhouse growing and distribution business serving North American retail, underpinned by a heavy Microsoft Azure + Databricks data stack. Active projects span ERP platform migration, cloud infrastructure upgrades, and hybrid connectivity—signaling a shift from legacy on-premise systems toward cloud-native data and operational tools. The hiring mix (engineering, finance, ops in equal weight) reflects concurrent work across infrastructure, analytics, and business process transformation rather than pure growth hiring.
Mastronardi Produce grows, distributes, and markets fresh produce year-round across multiple brands (SUNSET, Backyard Farms, Queen of Greens) from operations centered in Kingsville, Ontario. The company specializes in greenhouse-grown berries, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, serving retail and food-service channels across North America. As a privately held business operating since 1954, the company employs 1,001–5,000 people and is actively modernizing its technology foundation—moving ERP systems, consolidating cloud infrastructure, and upgrading network connectivity.
