Our cherry tomatoes are vine-ripened and have very great tomato flavour. Cherries tend to be sweet and taste great in salads and sauces. They can last up to a couple weeks.
Selecting the best: Look for cherries with consistent coloring. Choose red tomatoes for use within 3-4 days. Tomatoes with a shade of orange/green will continue to ripen naturally and are great when you don’t plan to use them right away.
Storing: Keep tomatoes away from other fruits and vegetables to prevent the natural ethylene in the tomato from over-ripening other produce.

Mini cucumbers are crispier and have a slightly sweeter flavour than the larger variety. Minis make a fresh, healthy snack on the go! They also look amazing on a veggie platter and taste great in salads! Their flavour makes a tasty sweet pickle or relish. Our cucumbers are often in your supermarket within 1-3 days from picking.
Selecting the best: Look for cucumbers that are firm and evenly coloured. But don’t squeeze them! This will shorten their shelf-life. Cucumbers can last up to a couple weeks. (Hint: If you see mini cucumbers going yellow they’re probably old. We clean out our coolers 2-3 times a week minimum. So you can be sure they were fresh when they left our dock;).
Storing: Always store cucumbers in their original wrap or in a container after opening. This will keep the cucumbers fresh and crisp. Our convenient grab’n go bag makes this easy and convenient.
