Our mission is to connect farmers and consumers through marketing, trade, education, and collaboration, and through a passionate belief that a family- farm, locally-based, environmentally-oriented, fair-trade food system is the way to a better world. Our vision is that mid-size farms in the Northeast are the primary suppliers of a sustainable, regional food system that is equitable, affordable, and accessible to all.
In 2023, Red Tomato supplied new vendors from K-12 schools to community- based nonprofits, developed countless new marketing materials to tell the story of our EcoCertified™ growers, and developed new relationships and networks across the region’s food system to address market disruption and food equity for eaters.
Take a look at our 2023 Annual Report, which highlights our impact in Northeast- and BIPOC grown products to wholesale markets, alongside project spotlights. These spotlights include updates on the EcoCertified brand, the Farming & Food Narrative Project, our Farm to School Program, and the Bypass Network.
