Farmers: Meet the Growers

The farmers of the Red Tomato network are an exceptional group. We call many of them our ‘Professors’—the people who teach us what it really takes to produce fantastic tasting, beautiful, fresh fruits and vegetables. Some of them work land that has been part of the same family for hundreds of years. Others have chosen farming as a new livelihood. All of them farm, sometimes in the face of tremendous odds, because it is a way of life, and a way of living for them and their families. To view a map of our network of growers, click here.

The relationships between Red Tomato and the farmers in our network are mutual partnerships based on getting to know each other over time and finding the right fit in terms of quality, production methods, and marketing strategies. For Red Tomato, everything starts with the farmers, and everything comes back to them. Without their knowledge, their land, and their commitment to farm, none of what we do would be possible. Or nearly as much fun.
