Our People

Our growers

John Secker

Head Grower Greenhouse One

John monitors the climate of the greenhouse and makes sure our tomatoes are warm and cozy year-round. He also checks the condition of the crop on a daily basis and the overall environment to maximize the quality and taste of the tomatoes. It’s sort of like a balancing act with Mother Nature—an act John has perfected over his 25-year career.

Tim de Kok

Head Grower Greenhouse Two

Tim is a fourth-generation grower. He enjoys being a grower because there are so many factors that influence the production, quality and produce size. Figuring out a way to make all those factors work is rewarding … and delicious.

John Dol

Harvesting and Packing Manager/Grower

John is in charge of the harvesting, packaging and shipping of the tomatoes. In short, he makes sure our tomatoes get to you fresh and tasty. John also played a huge role in the creation of our greenhouse. It was a lot of hard work, but he’s extremely proud of starting a greenhouse in an area where most people had never even seen one before.

Our Personal Gardeners

Our dedicated team of local gardeners tends to your tomatoes with a sense of pride. Gardeners cut and prune their rows and treat the plants as their own, checking their health on a regular basis. We then handpick the tomatoes when they’re red and ripe and whisk them off to the store—so that you can enjoy the freshest tomatoes possible.
