Heirloom Tomato Box
A rainbow mix of Brandywine, Cherokee Purple & Green Zebra.
Family-grown since 1972
From our family fields to your kitchen, Vermillion Farms grows certified-organic tomatoes and seasonal vegetables the slow, honest way — picked at peak ripeness and delivered within a day.
Our Story
In 1972, Joseph and Anna Vermillion planted their first crop of heirloom tomatoes on forty acres of red clay soil. Half a century later, their grandchildren still work the same land — with the same conviction that food tastes better when it's grown patiently and picked ripe.
We never spray synthetic pesticides, never gas our fruit to force colour, and never pick green. What reaches your table is exactly what the sun made.

Farming Process
We save and sow our own open-pollinated seed in compost-rich starter beds each spring.
Plants grow in living soil fed by cover crops and our own compost — never synthetic fertiliser.
Fruit stays on the vine until it's fully coloured and sweet. We pick by hand, never by machine.
Boxes are packed within hours of harvest and on their way to your door by the next morning.
Sustainability
We measure success by the health of our soil, not just our yield. Every choice on the farm is made with the next fifty years in mind.
All plant waste returns to the field as compost — nothing leaves the farm.
Targeted watering cuts our usage by 60% versus conventional sprinklers.
Our packing shed and cold store run entirely on rooftop solar.
Wild margins around every field shelter bees, birds & beneficial insects.
Testimonials
"I genuinely forgot what a tomato was supposed to taste like until the first Vermillion box arrived. Unbelievable."
"As a chef, sourcing matters. Vermillion's heirlooms are the most consistent, flavourful produce I can get."
"You can taste the care. The kids actually fight over the cherry tomatoes now — a small miracle."
