"We are charged with taking care of the land for future generations."
- Arlene Jones, Sprout

Sprout has worked with Amish farms for over 10 years. Amish farms are dedicated to sustainable and organic growing practices. Twin Eagle is a certified organic farm which means they do not use pesticides or other chemicals.

Conventional growing practices use pesticides in the growing process which are toxic to soil and humans. Damage to soil impacts the soil quality which diminishes nutrient quality of the food it's grown in. When pesticides are consumed, it is stored in the body and can cause irreversible damage. It is important to wash tomatoes and other vegetables carefully and select organic, if possible. 

Although tomatoes are typically red when ripe, they actually come in an array of colorful varieties. They don’t have to be uniformly colored to be delicious either. Tomatoes are technically a fruit, but their savory taste ensures they are used more as a vegetable. Delicious, nutritious, and versatile, tomatoes are a part of every cuisine in the world.

Tomatoes are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, and the phytonutrient carotene lycopene. Phytonutrients are nonessential nutrients but provide significant health benefits. Phytonutrients are chemicals produced by plants to stay healthy and colorful. They improve immune health and reduce inflammation.
