Harvest time at Muir Glen Organic
Tomato harvesting machine
The tomato harvesting machines at the farm use filters to evaluate each fruit’s ripeness, and select or discard tomatoes accordingly.
Tomatoes are picked at the peak of ripeness and timestamped to ensure they go from field to can in no more than 8 hours. Haste makes a big difference in taste, but it also requires much more planning compared to conventional methods of tomato processing.
