We grow our organic Cherry Roma tomatoes at our organic site in Rosenweide (Lower Saxony). When it’s too cold for tomatoes to grow in Germany, they grow under the Spanish sun at our farm in Balsapintada (Murcia).

Tomatoes are not frost hardy and cannot tolerate colder temperatures. They love the sun and should be protected from the wind. They also don’t like rain from above. That’s why we grow our organic Cherry Roma tomatoes in large polytunnels, where they are supplied with water via drip irrigation. This allows them to thrive and protects them from the cold, rain, wind and excessive sunlight. We set up bumblebee boxes in the polytunnels and count on the help of these lovely insects to pollinate the tomato flowers. Then the buds on the flowers can grow into beautiful tomatoes. If the flower is not pollinated, the flower rots and the fruit base dies off.

Tomatoes have a strong uptake with very high nutritional requirements. This is why they need a soil rich in humus. On loamy and clay-rich soils, tomatoes often develop more aromatic fruits. Growing organic Cherry Roma tomatoes is very time-consuming, as the tomato shoots have to be professionally 'trellised' every week so that they can grow nicely upwards. In addition, superfluous shoots are plucked out, i.e. they are snapped off so that only the main shoots can develop beautiful, full fruit. As the sweet fruits are also very sensitive to impact due to their thin skin, our organic Cherry Roma tomatoes are harvested manually.

Our organic Cherry Roma tomatoes are incredibly easy to prepare. First wash them in water. They can then either be eaten whole or cut into slices or cubes, depending on the method of preparation. 

Organic Cherry Roma tomatoes can be served in many different ways. They are perfect in a salad, on a pizza or in a quiche. Skewers alternating with mini mozzarella balls and organic Cherry Roma tomatoes are a great option for finger food.

Many vegetables are stored in the vegetable compartment of the fridge, but this is not recommended for tomatoes as they are sensitive to cold and lose their flavour in cold temperatures. However, if the temperature is too warm, tomatoes tend to spoil more quickly. You should therefore ensure that the temperature is optimal in order to keep the tomatoes fresh for as long as possible. Cherry tomatoes, for example, prefer a temperature between 10 and 13° Celsius. Ideally, however, our organic Cherry Roma tomatoes should be eaten immediately after purchase, as they simply taste best fresh.
