Scotian Gold Logo


Located in the heart of 'the Valley' in Coldbrook, NS, Scotian Gold operates on a 38-acre site to provide its growers with the centralized facilities for the storage, packing and marketing of their fresh apple crop. From our beginnings as The United Fruit Companies of Nova Scotia Limited in 1912, we've had a rich and varied history in the province. We are proud today to be the largest apple packing and storage operation in Eastern Canada.

Scotian Gold hires specialized expertise

At Scotian Gold we pride ourselves in supplying our growers with everything they need to produce a healthy crop, including the technical expertise. Scotian Gold employs two Certified Crop Advisors, which both are Certified Nutrient Management Planners. While tree fruit is the backbone of our business, we are equally comfortable servicing the vegetable, field crop and livestock sectors. Above is Larry Lutz, our VP of Agricultural Services, a tree fruit specialist whose work and research has helped Scotian Gold stay on the leading edge.
