History of Savoura
FreshPlaza reports that Savoura has grown tomatoes and strawberries in Quebec for over 30 years, started organic tomatoes in 2011 and has made several acquisitions since 2012. It began selling strawberries grown in Danville in 2017, completed its latest expansion in 2022 and launched a major brand refresh in 2025.
Earlier trade coverage in Canadian Grocer described the owner of Les Serres Sagami buying his main Quebec rival, Les Serres du Saint-Laurent, and taking over the Savoura brand, with greenhouse space growing from 14 to 26 hectares. In May 2026, Savoura announced an agreement in principle to acquire most of the assets of Productions Horticoles Demers, a deal that still needed regulatory and court approval at that time.
What Savoura Grows and Raises
Savoura grows greenhouse tomatoes, including organic varieties, and greenhouse strawberries. A 2023 investment of $63 million supported its growth, according to FreshPlaza. Earlier reports describe beef steak and cluster tomatoes as the bulk of output, with organic tomatoes sold in Ontario and New England as well as Quebec.
Greenhouse production lets Quebec growers supply fresh produce over a much longer season than field crops allow. The Demers deal, if completed, would add facilities including a 15-hectare greenhouse at Levis built in 2021, and the stated goals are to keep greenhouses running in key Quebec regions and preserve horticultural expertise and jobs.
How Savoura Makes Money
Greenhouse tomatoes
Tomatoes are the core product, sold fresh across Quebec, Canada and North America. Selling under a recognized brand lets the company hold a place on retail shelves.
Organic tomatoes
The company has grown organic tomatoes since 2011 and is described as one of the largest organic greenhouse tomato producers in North America. Organic lines serve markets beyond Quebec, according to earlier trade coverage.
Strawberries
Danville-grown strawberries have been sold since 2017, adding a second crop and a different season profile to the tomato business.
Farm Insight: What Other Operators Can Learn from Savoura
Consolidation is a strategy. Acquisitions since 2012 and the pending Demers purchase show a grower building scale by buying existing greenhouses rather than starting from bare ground, which can save years of construction and crop establishment.
Diversify crops under glass. Adding strawberries to tomatoes uses the same investment in greenhouse structures and staff across more of the year. A brand refresh and an organic line also give a large grower pricing and marketing options.
Growing tomatoes under glass in a Quebec winter is the sort of defiance the farm satire team at farm.FM can only respect from a heated desk. The farm humor of a company that grows 39 hectares of tomatoes and still has a strawberry side hustle needs no help from us, and the ranch humor remains politely out in the field. We keep the farm jokes ripe, and we have never once thrown one at a greenhouse.
