The d'VineRipe® glasshouse has the capacity to produce up to 10,000 tonnes of excellent quality, better-tasting truss tomato varieties a year.

Following painstaking, international research, superior tasting varieties from world leading seed producers are featured. All varieties marketed under the banner of Romatherapy® baby roma tomatoes, Il Bello Rosso® baby roma tomatoes, Saladette® truss tomatoes, Piccolini® cocktail tomatoes, d'VineRipe® truss tomatoes, Il Bello Rosso® cherry truss tomatoes and Tomato Medley have been selected for their unique flavour, appearance, texture, versatility and outstanding shelf life.

The glasshouse's seedlings are propagated off-site. Meticulous specifications require the propagators to produce grafted seedlings of a particular height and leaf span specific to each variety.

At 35 days old, seedlings are packed and transported to Two Wells, where they are transplanted and grown hydroponically to maturity under the watchful eye of expert growers experienced in producing outstanding glasshouse tomatoes.

Producing tomatoes in a glasshouse environment means crops are less susceptible to disease than open-field crops; yields and quality are higher and more consistent and running costs are considerably lower.
