It is with great pride that tomaté! was featured in an article in La Presse. The article explores why tomaté! has chosen to focus on tomatoes with surprising shapes and vibrant colours—tomatoes that tell a different story than the usual varieties. It also delves into the strategic decision to grow in greenhouses, and shares the vision of Judith and Dominic Lussier, the founders of this Montérégie-based company. Judith explains in detail the differences between heirloom, hybrid, and genetically modified tomatoes.
We also learn that in Quebec, tomatoes top the list of the most commonly greenhouse-grown fruits and vegetables, and that in 2021, their cultivation accounted for nearly 45% of all greenhouse production in the province.
The article paints a rich portrait of a couple growing much more than just tomatoes: they cultivate a philosophy of flavour, innovation, and respect for nature.
Being featured in La Presse is a meaningful recognition of the work accomplished and the drive that fuels tomaté!.
