We grow tomato plants in 2.5" pots. This pot size
filled with our own growing medium produces
strong tomato plants with elaborate root systems,
deep green leaves, and strong healthy stems.

Before, the tomatoes are packaged into boxes the
root ball is secured within the pot using kraft paper
and rubber bands. This eliminates soil spillage
during transit while allowing proper circulation to
the root system.

example to show how the majority of our plants
are prepared prior to shipping).

Lastly, the tomato plants are secured within the
shipping box with recycled peanuts(picture on
right). These peanuts are 100% recycled material
and are waterproof. Peanuts fill the void in
between objects constricting the amount of
movement within the box, allowing the plants to be
in prime condition upon arrival.
In a 6' upside down drop the peanuts kept the
plants in the exact same position and condition, as
they were originally packed. While, mail carriers
are not that harsh on packages, we decided to go
the extra mile to insure plants are in top condition
upon arrival.

Tomato Plants ship from April 1 - July 16
We do not ship tomatoes when the areas along the transit route are experiencing
temperatures 32 degrees or below.
When, we halt shipping plants due to weather related problems these plants will ship, as
soon as, ideal conditions prevail.
