Gene and Mary Margaret Ripley take pride in their honest, reliable business practices and sustainable farming methods. Truly fresh and clean Did you know that most tomatoes sold at the grocery stores are grown 1000+ miles away, harvested green, and are ripened with ethylene gas? Barry Estabrook describes how supermarket tomatoes are produced and why they have no taste in his excellent new book Tomatoland. At Ripley Farm, we handle your produce with the greatest of care from the moment of harvest until it reaches your hands. Whether you are a CSA member, place Vegetable Orders, or visit the Farmers Market, your vegetables are harvested fresh, carefully washed, and refrigerated so that they reach your table in perfect condition. Our customers appreciate that Ripley Farm’s vegetables taste fresher and last much longer than those from the store!
