Welcome to Tomato Country

Home of Red Gold®

Where do tomatoes come from?  Fortunate tomatoes grow up in Tomato Country.  Everything about the “Heartland” helps a tomato’s case:  the amount of rain, the number of sunny days, the makeup of the soil, the angle of the sun, even the freeze/thaw cycle in early spring, which loosens the soil for the sake of the tender roots.

Here you can meet some people who care for our tomatoes, see how those tomatoes are doing right now and feel, we hope, very welcome.

HOW THE TOMATOES ARE DOING

Its red everywhere!  Not all tractors are red and not all trailers are red, but this field of tomatoes is red and ready for the harvester.  The machine passes through the field, one row at a time, lifting the entire plant out of the ground.  The Red Gold tomato plant receives a gentle shake and the ripe fruits are released from the vine.  The tractors, equipment and harvester in the picture are valued at nearly a half million dollars, all required to bring in the ripe crop in a timely and safe manner.  In a little under an hour, the load will be ready for transporting to one of the Red Gold facilities for special care and canning and then.......on to your table!
