Vine-ripened tomatoes from Oppy's Oceanside Pole label are ready to be picked and shipped.

With nearly 2.2 million cases of rounds and over 1.6 million cases of Romas expected to be picked from 1 million poles on 800 acres, Oppy is now shipping the Oceanside Pole label to its loyal fan base. With tomatoes always arriving at retailer-specified ripeness, Oceanside's large-scale pole-grown California operation raises fruit off the ground to improve airflow and quality while naturally ripening on the vine — and as they travel to stores.
