From a Dream to your Door
Green Tomato was born in 2021, however, the idea has been brewing in my head for quite some time. Having studied and lived in Washington State for over four years, and spent time abroad, I quickly realized that Florida, and specifically South Florida where I grew up, had a lot to learn from other regions.
Growing frustrated with the lack of sustainable options and recycling programs that existed in Miami-Dade, I started to volunteers when I could at local beach cleanups, annoyed my family members about the importance of recycling, and declined the plastic bag after getting really upset when the cashier offered me one when I purchased a small pack of gum (why!?). All these actions were steps in the right direction, however, it was not enough.
That’s why in 2021 I decided to start the first ever sustainable produce delivery company in Miami-Dade County. Green Tomato is not only a trailblazer in our space, we are also doing things differently, and for a reason. Why should we follow a model that is long over-due for change? We believe that eating healthy does not have to be synonymous with eating bland and boring meals. We believe that time is the most important asset we have, and we want to help you cherish it. We believe that small conscious choices can help improve our planet.

That's why we created a zero-waste model were we send you your weekly produce in resuable insulated bags that you can reuse or return to us. Additionally, our produce comes with minimal packaging, minimizing waste.
