Here on
our website you
can learn about our farm and the delicious premium
quality, certified organic tomatoes that we grow in our greenhouses in
East Thetford, Vermont.
Long Wind Farm started as a small organic field operation, run by David
Chapman with little more than a yoke of oxen, a small farm stand, and a
big vision. That vision was to bring to the marketplace a tomato that
was grown organically and would have that garden-grown flavor we all
remember. One farmer's obsession with quality is what brought Long
Wind Farm tomatoes to your grocery store shelf.
The quality of tomatoes on the market has declined as growers seek
production over flavor. Varieties are chosen for their ability to
produce volume and shelf-life, with flavor coming in a distant third. These are the very notions
that Long Wind Farm rejects and seeks to offer an alternative to. Many
of us can still remember the exquisite taste of that tomato picked ripe
from a garden. However, as most of us have busy schedules that
leave us getting our produce in grocery stores these days and left with a
quality of fruit that has been determined by commodity markets. Tomatoes from all over the world are shipped into the USA and the
growing standards of different nations are their own. When you
buy Long Wind Farm tomatoes you are buying produce grown in Vermont, a
state that was organic even before organic was cool. When you buy our
tomatoes you are assured that what you are eating is not only delicious,
but is also free from dangerous chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
What you are eating is the closest thing to a garden-grown tomato that
you will ever find in the produce department of your favorite store. Why not
pick some up today and you will see why Long Wind Farm organic
tomatoes are real tomatoes? They may be purchased in supermarkets
and heath food stores, or enjoyed on the menu of many fine restaurants
throughout the Northeastern USA . For a list of stores

Beyond organic tomatoes, Long Wind Farm is now a leading producer of
composting worms, one of natures most perfect recyclers, as well as sow
bugs for reptile feed and educational use. For more information
