Our History
 Family run since 1970 started out of our home in North York |
|---|
 It all started with one roasting pot .... |
 Hard work & passion for great tasting high quality snacks that people could afford |
 Early 1970's JVF began delivering roasted nuts |
 Bulk & packaged for retail sale to our growing customer base |
 In 1974, the Stouffville flea market was the official introduction of the bulk food concept to the Canadian consumer |
 Through-out we stayed true to our roots & Italian heritage |
 Bulk food was a viable idea and widely accepted by Canadian consumers, so we sought to expand focusing on wholesale trade |
 New warehouse & modified roasters with expansion to our Chesswood location & store front |
 1980 brought a move to expand production & distribution at 555 Steeprock where our head office and flagship retail store still resides to this day |
 1985 JVF started franchising retail stores with various partners, shifting retail focus back to wholesale, manufacturing & packaging in the 1990's |
 1995 JVF acquires the Planters brand in Canada from Hershey and we continue to build momentum |
 Continued focus on quality, value & assortment within the Canadian market leads to successful ventures in the US and abroad |
 Investment in innovative manufacturing and packaging infrastructure continues to fuel our brands and growth, allowing us to better serve our valued customers & consumers |
 Today our family is over 1000 strong and we proud to be a privately owned Canadian company |
