The coastal climate of the Santa Ynez river valley has provided Tutti Frutti with a thriving organic heirloom tomato and squash operation. While other national growers are transitioning into cold weather crops, Tutti Frutti is in the midst of peak production.
Just a glance of Tutti Frutti's growing operation!
Founded by Chris Cadwell 30 years ago Tutti Frutti currently grows on over 300 acres and the farm's location has been paramount to its success. The valley’s micro climate is perfect for heirlooms. The coastal breeze minimizes mildew, while light evening fog slows the ripening, enhancing and concentrating flavor, according to Cadwell.

Caldwell hs continually expanded his operation to now serving Mixed Hierlooms known as a variety of Purple Cherokee, Copia, Marvelle, Chocolate Stripe, Persimmon, Green Cherokee, Brandywine and Golden Jubilee.
Tutti Fruitti's mixed organic heirloom tomato business is expected to have ample supplies through the end of November on various crop varieties.
