Your Cocktail Tomatoes, and regular size Tomatoes, are the very best we have ever tasted!

And we have tasted many different ones.

Thank you,

Aloha, everyone from the Daniels family:

This note made our day. It will be posted where the workers can see what you said. This was very considerate of you.

You may be interested to know that we test our fruit each week for sweetness.

Every year June and I go to the Tomato Festival in Carmel, California to find new and interesting heirloom tomatoes. Here is what we wrote about our last visit on our blog, which we have written to three times a week for two years to give our farm a human face: Tomato Festival.

Here, too, is a post we did when O‘ahu Chef Alan Wong came to meet his adopted class of 6th graders at Keaukaha School, and fed them our tomatoes.

If you read through our blog you’ll see we are also very much interested in sustainability as it applies to our workers, our community and the environment.

Thanks so much for your nice note. We appreciate it very much.

Aloha,
Richard and June Ha
