Company description

Chocolates and tomatoes farm is a certified organic farm in Montgomery County Maryland only 25 miles from the White House. We are excited to have two campuses this year, with a total of about 6 acres ready to go! We specialize in unique table crops and grew over 100 varieties in 2017. We thrive by embracing our community through farmers markets, our work with local restaurants, and our extensive work with Manna food bank. Each member of our team helps shape and craft our way forward as we seek to grow in knowledge and community reach and impact. We work in most of the cutting edge organic techniques such as high tunnels, mychrozzae, soil building, and whatever else we can find to make small scale organic farming profitable.
