1. Adoption.

IT’S ADOPTION TIME!  Fresh Off the Vine is pleased to announce the return of our “Adopt an Organic Tomato Plant Program” and we’re actively seeking proud new parents for the 2005 growing season.  This is your chance to share in the following unique benefits while supporting local organic farming and eating healthy:

- Four (4) pounds of fresh organic tomatoes delivered to your door weekly for two (2) whole months.  Based on feedback from last year's parents, 4 pounds a week "is the perfect amount."  Each delivery will also include a fresh herb or great tomato recipe.

- A certificate of adoption with information about your youthful plant, including his or her name that is chosen by you.

- Your name and the name of your plant displayed in our greenhouse for an entire growing season.  Visitors, including agri-tourists and elementary schools, will learn of your commitment to supporting  organic farming.  The display may also contain a personal message that can be shared with visitors.

- A tour of Fresh Off the Vine’s organic greenhouse by appointment.

Hand-harvested, vine-ripe tomatoes will be ready for delivery in April, so ensure your place as the proud new parent of a healthy tomato plant by signing up today - just print this form & mail it to us. To our returning parents, we would like to thank you for your support and for making our first adoption campaign such a success!

2.  Look for the Fresh Off the Vine Label in Local Markets.

Be sure to look for the round Fresh Off the Vine label (shown below) on organic tomatoes in local grocery stores.  If you can't find our label, please notify the produce manager that you prefer California grown, Fresh Off the Vine tomatoes.  As proud Californians, we are pleased to be a part of the "Buy California Grown" campaign & we hope you choose to support California farmers by purchasing our produce.

Below is a list of markets currently carrying our produce (please continue to check back as this list will be updated throughout the year):

3.  Visit Our On-site Produce Stand.

Contact us at (559) 584-1700 or diane@ripechoice.com to  place an order in advance & we'll carry the tomatoes out to your car when you arrive!  Or, just stop by our ranch to pick-up some of our delicious organic produce.  If our "OPEN" sign is out, then we are open for business - be sure to "honk for tomatoes" when you arrive.
