Good news on the tomato front in retail supermarket stores. Another source is available for greenhouse grown tomatoes, which are the closest thing you’ll find to those tasty homegrown tomatoes we all crave during the summertime.
Grape tomatoes are now arriving in stores that are grown by Delta, British Columbia headquartered Winset Farms. However, look for the clamshell packages under the Green Giant label, with is the company marketing the product for the Canadian-based firm. The tomatoes are actually being grown in greenhouses in Santa Maria, CA.
Even better news is that by spring there will be beefsteak, roma and vine tomaotes made available to consumers.
Not sure how big the production is, so it will be interesting to see what retail chains are carrying the tomatoes.
