We learned that one the hard way - through countless tastings of canned tomatoes. After awhile, that just isn't fun anymore. But luckily for you, we did all the hard work for you and found the best tasting tomato sauce and canned tomato products around!
What makes these tomatoes so special?
- grown on 30 family farms located in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan
- 47% of our tomatoes are grown within 10 miles of the plant where processed, 76% within 20 miles and 98% within 50 miles
- supplier controls the quality of our tomatoes from seed to fresh packed crop
- sauces are made fresh, not remanufactured from paste; no water is added
- after harvest, fruits are processed within 3 to 8 hours of harvesting. This keeps the tomato firm and fresh limiting the need for additives that alter the flavor or nutritional content
- contracted farms use sustainable farming methods: mechanical weed control, 5 year crop rotation, shallow tillage, and compost fertilizer.
