Urban Barns Foods Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Urban Barns Foods, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Sobeys Quebec to establish a collaborative business relationship between the two businesses.
The deal will see the test-marketing of produce grown and supplied by Urban Barns to six Sobeys Quebec grocery stores under the IGA banner in Laurentians and Montreal.
The produce to be tested over the coming weeks will be lettuce, basil and various varieties of micro-greens.
Sobeys Quebec believes that the deal will help the company to offer its customers a variety of locally-grown, high-quality produce.
The MoU with Urban Barns reinforces the position and interest of both businesses to offer distinctive produce exclusively to their customers.
