Welcome to Ripe Thing.   Looking for Flavor?  We’ve got it!!! 

At “Ripe Thing” we’re about FLAVOR. True vine-ripened tomatoes, once available only at roadside stands are now available year-round in your local supermarket.

Many tomatoes sold today are picked green, then forced to ripen in hot rooms using ethylene or they’re grown in greenhouses using artificial methods. These tomatoes are forced to ripen and are missing the good old backyard garden flavor that we love. They may be as much as two to three weeks old when they hit the stores’ produce department.

Ripe Thing tomatoes are grown the old-fashioned way - in the sun, in the dirt. We hand pick those tomatoes that have already ripened on the vine. They’re then rushed to local packing facilities for packing into consumer and bulk packs, and then delivered to your supermarkets’ warehouse for distribution to your neighborhood store.

Call 1-88-TOMATOES for comments or questions.

Thank you for Doing The Ripe Thing!
