We wash all of the veggies as soon as they
come out of the ground, then store them in our fridge
overnight and deliver them to you next-day.
After the veggies are washed and
bagged, they're moved into our walk-in
fridge for cooling before distribution.

We start our tomato plants early...in January...
in our greenhouse so that we can make the most
of our short Spring and get a few yummy tomatoes
to our members before the summer heat sets in.
Here are some of our tomato plants that
have just been taken out of the greenhouse
and set into the ground. It won't be long now
before our members are enjoying lots of
yummy, vine-ripened tomatoes.

tomatoes that our members enjoy during the late
