About Cole-Munro Foods Group

Cole-Munro Foods Group is an agri-food business located on Barrie Blvd in St. Thomas, Ontario. The company serves families across Canada by providing fresh, locally sourced Ontario trout. They specialize in producing Steelhead and rainbow trout, which they describe as nutrient-rich proteins that are low in sodium and calories while being high in vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. The company was founded in 1994 by Geoff Cole and Todd Munro, who started the business with a truck and a dedication to providing quality fish to local families. While they have grown to become North America's largest Steelhead trout producer—supplying 80% of Canada's trout—they remain a family-run operation. Their operations include family farms on Manitoulin Island and Georgian Bay, with their head office and processing facility situated in St. Thomas. Cole-Munro Foods Group emphasizes a commitment to responsible farming and sustainable practices. They highlight that their products are free of dyes, obtaining their pink color from the antioxidant astaxanthin, and note that their fish consistently test for mercury levels well below regulated amounts. The company describes its workforce as family and focuses on maintaining a collaborative environment rooted in local values and community economic stability.
