MEET THE TOMATO FARMERS
Seaside Farm
Frogmore, SC
In 1903, Gus Sanders situated the first commercial tomato farm on a pretty little peninsula across the sound from Hilton Head Island. He discovered that tomatoes grow best in the soil by the water’s edge, snuggled in sand and surrounded by the sea. Six generations later, his family continues to refine his legacy by shipping more than 24 million pounds of fresh tomatoes up and down the East Coast in the single month of June.
