Our Heirloom cherry tomatoes called 'Wild Wonders' are grown by Demeter accredited organic/biodynamic grower, Frank de Koning. Frank has a total of 9 hectares under glass, with greenhouses in Brielle, Tinte & Rockanje, South Holland.\n\nFrank realised conventional farming methods did not deliver the quality of product he was looking for, so he converted 20 years ago to organic farming. He says “It's just more fun to grow in the open ground and use compost, companion planting and beneficial insects!”\n\nSoil biodiversity is key to healthy plants, so Frank restores soil fertility in winter months by applying compost teeming with organic life. He controls aphids and other plant predators by using ladybirds, while hard working Bumble bees which work with less light and lower temperatures than honey bees pollinate the tomatoes.\n\nFrank's 'Wild Wonders' assortment draws from a rich reservoir of wild tomato species, increasing biodiversity and thereby improving food security. \n\n \n\n \n\n
