Hello, my name is Marcel de Groot.
Next to me is my brother Steef.
We grow vine tomatoes in Harmelerwaard.
We are a real family firm.
Grandpa was a market gardener, my father is a market gardener and now we are too.
You can see that the tomatoes are starting to blush.
Once the tomatoes get a deep red colour, they are really tasty, ripened on the plant.
They are harvested early in the morning and go to the packing centre in the afternoon.
The following afternoon, they are fresh in the stores, ready to eat.
We started off with a plant that was 20 centimetres tall.
Every week, it put on a new truss...
...and as you can see, there are now 8 or 9 trusses hanging from it.
The truss can be harvested from tomorrow.
We would love to hear how they taste and what you think of them.
We have certainly done our very best to put a clean, safe, tasty and fresh product onto the shelves.
If you have any nice recipes or ideas, let us know and post them on Love my Salad.
We would love to try them out!
