Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, peppers… Organically grown in harmony with nature to provide you with the best, purest produce. Lipman's Grown True, healthier for you and for the Earth. When Max Lipman planted his first tomato in the 1930’s, he had the modest goal of simply providing for his family. Since the first seed was planted, the times – and even our company’s name – have changed, but the core values have always remained the same: building lasting relationships with our customers, being responsible with our natural resources and the health and wellbeing of our people and families. Following the same fundamental practices Max did more than 80 years ago, Lipman has grown into the largest field tomato grower in North America – a title we don’t take lightly. As your trusted industry partner, Lipman ensures that fresh and flavorful produce is available when you need it. Lipman’s comprehensive food safety program encompasses our entire farming and packing operation. That’s why we’re confident in our ability to provide fresh produce that meets the highest standards of quality. All of our company managers and key personnel have been educated and certified in food safety standards. Bottom line: When you work with Lipman, you can be confident that your produce is not only fresh and delicious – it’s also safe, healthy and clean. The more places you grow, the better you grow. So, to ensure availability of quality produce 24/7/365, Lipman is geographically diverse. With more than 30 locations to farm, pack and ship produce throughout North America, we grow year-round in optimal conditions that allow for the highest yield per plant. Another benefit: it cuts down on miles driven, reducing both transportation costs and environmental effects. Geographic diversity also helps us support local sourcing programs. Through our “Lipman Local” initiative, we partner with smaller, seasonal farms and sub-suppliers, sharing best practices. To develop plants that not only bear nutrient-rich and flavorful fruit, but also produce a high-yielding crop, Lipman has invested millions in research and development. To develop better and more sustainable hybrids, our scientists begin at the beginning – with the seed. The process, which typically takes about seven years, goes from seed to lab to field and back again over several growing cycles, repeating itself until stable parental lines are produced. Hybrids are tested across the country and carefully analyzed for desired traits. In Naples, 100 million seedlings are produced each year – while on thousands of acres of Lipman farms across the country, 30 of our proprietary hybrids are grown simultaneously. The work is painstaking, but it has paid off: Lipman’s proprietary varieties have created a superior, better tasting product, significantly increasing yields while measurably decreasing inputs.
