The Wilgenburg family invites you to enjoy their vine-ripened, hand-picked, and
hand-packed tomatoes at the peak of their flavor! Handled with �Kid gloves� is
how Wilgenburg�s tomatoes are harvested today. Each worker wears cotton gloves
when picking and packing the fruit. Bumble bees pollinate the tomato flowers,
searching and finding the flowers that need to be pollinated. They only work the
flowers that have pollen available for them to store. Good pollination is
essential to achieve the final result of a good, firm, tasty and juicy tomato.
Flavor and nutrition are intertwined in Hans� philosophy and practice of
farming. Compost for the fertilizer is made on the farm. Hans became a worm
farmer, using the worm castings to further enhance the nutritional value of the
soil medium, in which the tomatoes and cucumbers are grown. The good health of
both the soil and plant has a direct correlation to the health and flavor of the
fruit.
