Our Commitment

At NatureSweet, our Purpose is to transform the lives of millions of agricultural workers in North America through a profitable business model that encourages other companies to replicate.

Growing Produce, Transforming Lives

Having a transformational effect in the produce industry starts with our Associates. We provide opportunities for them to earn a transformational wage, get continuing education, and improve their communities.  We like to think this has something to do with the next stat: we have the lowest turnover rate in the industry.

At NatureSweet, we empower Associates to be experts in our facilities. And when you empower people, they treat the business—and grow the produce—with the highest level of care. It’s something you can taste in every perfectly sweet tomato, pepper, and cucumber under the NatureSweet name. That goes for retail and foodservice—it’s the same product.

Planting a Better Future

Besides producing sweet produce year-round, greenhouses help us reach our sustainability goals. We operate over 1,400 acres of greenhouse space across Arizona and six states in Mexico, making us the largest vertically integrated controlled environment agriculture (CEA) company in North America.

Greenhouse-Grown Benefits:

8x more food production compared to traditional farming
87% less land required to grow
80% less water usage through efficient greenhouse practices
Integrated pest management to reduce chemical use
Year-round availability with premium quality and flavor

Growing Process

It starts with seeds

We scour the earth to find the very best.
Plant grafting

We naturally combine the strongest roots with vines that yield the sweetest tomatoes so our fruit will grow strong and sweet.
Water conservation

Instead of soil, we plant in coconut husks. It helps the tomato plants resist disease and uses 80% less water.
Grow strong and sweet

We built greenhouses to protect our tomatoes from the elements. That way, they can focus all their energy on one thing: flavor.
Handpicked by Associates

The tomatoes ripen under the care of our amazing Associates. Then they’re tenderly handpicked off the vine at the peak of perfection.
Flavor

How does our flavor never waver? Our tomatoes are tested for sweetness, firmness, and freshness. Only those that pass earn the NatureSweet name.
24-hour production

Within 24 hours, they’re packed, shipped, and on their way to your local store.
They’re ready to make every meal marvelous

Then they’re ready to make every meal marvelous. Why? Because they were Raised Right.
