The Cycle of the Florida Tomato Season 🍅 Here at our Central Florida farm, we can see the delicate agricultural transition from fall to spring captured in one frame. At this time in Parrish, FL there are three critical stages happening simultaneously: 1. The Final Stages of the Current Harvest: In this image, you can see active plants with a few remaining tomatoes awaiting harvest. While most of the Central Florida fall crop has been picked, our team is preparing for the last few rounds of harvesting, ensuring that we gather every ripe tomato. 2. Land Preparation and Nutrient Restoration: As we wrap up this harvest, we’re focusing on revitalizing our soil. This involves tilling the land and planting a cover crop, like hemp, known for its ability to restore nutrients and improve soil health. This organic practice enhances the microbiome of our soil, setting a strong foundation for our future crops. 3. Laying Down New Plastic: Fresh plastic mulch creates a protective layer for our next planting. This practice helps regulate soil temperature, retain moisture, and suppress weeds, ensuring optimal conditions for healthy growth. Over the next few weeks seedlings will be planted here. In early April the spring crop will be ready to harvest! These transitions are critical for ensuring a steady supply of delicious Florida tomatoes from harvest to harvest! 🍅✨ #FloridaTomatoes #FarmLife #SustainableAgriculture #HarvestCycle #CropRotation #RegenerativeAg #FarmToTable #FloridaFarm

What a great way to celebrate our incredible team! 🍅🎅🎄 This year’s holiday luncheons at our Palmetto and Wimauma facilities were filled with laughter, joy, and a deep sense of gratitude. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every member of our Sunripe family—from managers to mechanics, sales to packinghouse employees, and to truck drivers and everyone in between. This year has brought its share of challenges, but your unwavering dedication and resilience have truly shone through. These gatherings remind us of the strength we have as a team and the bonds we've built. Together, we’ve navigated obstacles, celebrated successes, and supported one another every step of the way. As we look ahead, we’re excited for the journey to come and the memories we’ll create together. Here’s to many more shared moments, achievements, and a bright future ahead! #holidaycheer #happyholidays #EmployeeAppreciation #tomatoes #freshproduce #farming #farm
