Mucci Farms

Cox Enterprises, a private, family-owned conglomerate headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, first took an undisclosed strategic stake in Mucci Farms in June 2022. By May 2024 Mucci's own press release described itself as part of the "newly launched Cox Farms business," Cox's site lists Mucci Farms under its Greenhouse Agriculture portfolio, and Agriculture Dive reporting calls Mucci "Cox-owned" with Cox Farms as its "parent company." No filing discloses an exact stake percentage or a single acquisition date, so this rests on the parent's and vendor's own statements and trade press rather than a registry filing.

Mucci's own site says it owns and operates 250+ acres of greenhouse in Kingsville, Ontario and Huron, Ohio (60 of those acres are the Ohio site), plus a 1,500+-acre network of partner growers whose countries are not named. Since 2024 it has added two more Ontario greenhouses, Hacienda North Farms (159 acres, Coatsworth) and Greenhill Produce (about 150 acres, Kent Bridge), while its Michigan and Texas sites are described in the vendor's own press release as distribution cross-docks, not growing acreage. Owned Ontario acreage is now several times the Ohio and California growing acreage, so this mix weights Canadian-grown product highest with a meaningful other/US share for the undisclosed partner-grower network and US-market growing; no source breaks down what share of product actually reaches Canadian shelves across the year, so this is marked inferred.

Mucci's "Our Story" page cites "a dedicated team of over 2000" without a country breakdown. Every open position sampled on its careers page in September 2026 was based at Mucci Pac in Kingsville, Ontario or in Wheatley, Ontario, even though the same page filters jobs by both a Canada and a USA tab. Since the Ontario greenhouse cluster (Kingsville, plus the newer Hacienda North and Greenhill sites) is several times the size of the single Huron, Ohio site, most staff are assumed Canadian; this is an estimate, not a published headcount split.

Mucci does not publish where its seed genetics, growing media, or packaging come from. Its innovation page says only that it "travel[s] the world to find innovative solutions... from farming equipment to custom packaging," and greenhouse vegetable operations in the Leamington-Kingsville cluster where Mucci is based typically run on Dutch hybrid seed genetics and stone-wool growing media, standard practice in North American high-tech greenhouse produce. Water, natural gas/CO2 enrichment, and most packaging are assumed domestic to Ontario and Ohio. This is an industry-typical estimate, not a vendor-confirmed sourcing breakdown, so it is marked inferred.

• Mucci Farms vendor_statement “We consistently travel the world to find innovative solutions for all areas of our business, from farming equipment to custom packaging, and even a logistics app that allows our retail partners to track shipments in real time.”
