🍅 CANNING TOMATOES AVAILABLE!!! 🍅

We unexpectedly have a large amount of canning tomatoes available, and I want to explain why.

A little farm-life rant...

A gentleman contacted us through our business page a couple of weeks ago wanting 150 lbs. of canning tomatoes. We had been communicating back and forth and arranged for him to pick them up today. I explained that afternoon pickup would be best so Dad and I would have time to pick his order fresh this morning. He said that worked perfectly because he got off work at 1:00.

Well, as everyone around here knows, Mother Nature was not very kind this morning. Between the downpours and lightning, Dad and I still went out and picked close to 200 lbs. of tomatoes, making sure we had plenty to fill his 150-lb. order.

Around noon, I messaged him to let him know his tomatoes were picked and ready.

That’s when he responded that he hadn't realized how far away we were because his eyes aren't the best.

I explained that we had specifically picked 150 lbs. for his order and had even turned away other customers because those tomatoes were spoken for. I even offered to meet him to make it easier.

And then... no response. Nothing.

Dad and I work extremely hard to provide our customers with the freshest produce possible. We pick orders specifically for people, often early in the morning and sometimes in less-than-ideal weather. When someone places a large order and doesn't follow through, it doesn't just mean we have extra tomatoes—it means time, work, and produce that could have gone to other customers who wanted them.

We completely understand that things come up and plans change. All we ask is that you please communicate with us. A simple message goes a long way, especially when we've picked and held produce specifically for you.

So, with all of that being said...

🍅🍅 WE HAVE CANNING TOMATOES AVAILABLE!!! 🍅🍅

If you've been wanting to make salsa, tomato juice, sauce, or get some canning done, now is the time!

Please message Wilson Farm Produce, LLC if you're interested.

And as always, THANK YOU to all of our wonderful customers who support our farm, show up for their orders, and appreciate the work that goes into growing and picking fresh produce. ❤️🌱

We operate our farm on the honor system, and we truly appreciate the honesty and support of our customers. We work hard every day to bring fresh, high-quality vegetables to your table. Our tomatoes are picked daily as they ripen and carefully placed in crates to protect them from deer, raccoons, and other wildlife.

Unfortunately, last night someone stopped for tomatoes and took significantly more than they paid for. We understand that it can sometimes be difficult to estimate the total, but we kindly ask that you please be mindful of what you are taking and leave payment that reflects your purchase. The honor system only works when everyone does their part.

A price sign and a scale are available at the farm to help you determine the total for your purchase. Payments can be made by placing cash in the black lockbox attached to the metal cabinet or by using the Venmo information listed on the pricing sign.

Below are the current prices for the items we have available. If you ever have questions or are unsure of the total, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 515-979-4052. Thank you for your continued support, honesty, and for helping us keep our farm open for everyone.

Tomatoes - $4.00/lb
Zucchini - $1.00 each
Summer Squash - $1.00 each
Jalapenos - $2.00/lb
Bell Peppers - $1.00 each
Banana Peppers - 2 for $1.00
Cucumbers - $1.00 each
Pickling Cucumbers - $4.00/lb
Cabbage - $1.00/lb
Beets- $2.00/lb
Onions - $2.00/lb
Potatoes - $2.00/lb
Green Beans - $4.00/lb

Thank you,

I am guilty of not posting progress on the farm. 20 flats(3000 onions) are up and needing another hair cut. Garlic is poking through the winter mulch, 200 lbs of potatoes are chittlng, waiting to be planted. Peppers and tomatoes are growing waiting to be planted in the tunnels.
Busy time is coming. The garden gym welcomes anyone wanting to learn the produce business.
