OCEANSIDE, CA - Exclusively marketed by Oppy, West Coast Tomato Growers is kicking off its harvest of its Oceanside Pole vine-ripe round and roma tomatoes.

Grown by Harry Singh, Jr., both tomatoes are now being shipped everywhere by Oppy and are ripe for “grown in California” local promotions.

“This season, Mr. Singh is growing his signature Sweet-10 variety, as well as a new variety that he’s trialed for the last four years,” said Mark Smith, Senior Sales Representative at Oppy. “It is testing off the charts for size, yield, flavor, and shelf life.”

In a press release, Smith praised Singh for his expertise in achieving “authentic tomato flavor.”

“Producing tomatoes on poles is a complex process that takes time, resources, and expertise,” Smith continued. “A lot of passion and care goes into every step, and you can see it and taste it in every tomato.”

Singh is joined by his son, Priya, who will oversee the season. Priya Singh will act as General Manager following the passing of Dick Keim late last year.

“Priya brings new perspective along with a deep understanding of what it means to grow tomatoes in the Oceanside Pole tradition,” said Smith. “He and his father are a great team to work with.”

Oppy is also marketing BC organic beefsteaks and tomatoes-on-the-vine from OriginO and conventional tomatoes-on-the-vine and cocktail tomatoes from SunSelect in California.
