Clayton’s Steam Technology Saves 2 Million Pounds Of Perfect Tomatoes.
Seaside Farm Lost 8% Of Its Tomato Crop Each Year Because It Was Too Ripe To Ship.
It’s all about the tomato,” says Ross Taylor, a fifth-generation heir of the family tomato farming business, Seaside Farm. Based on Saint Helena Island in South Carolina, every year the family sells 20 million pounds of their tomatoes to restaurateurs and local grocers mostly along the East Coast.
“We pick them mature green. We can’t ship a ripe tomato,” said Mac Sanders, Ross’s uncle and one of the family’s current crop of patriarchs. Tomatoes ripen to their luscious red color naturally when the plant produces ethylene, an odorless, tasteless chemical.
