FIELD SELECTION - Preseason planning begins by selecting tomato fields with properly balanced soil. The fields are then planted and cared for throughout the entire growing season. CAN RECEIVING - In preparation for the ongoing canning process, empty cans are delivered daily.
TOMATO RECEIVING - Tomatoes arrive hourly from local farms. Every tomato is individually inspected and graded as they pass through the water flumes that protect the quality of the tomatoes. PEELING & SORTING - The tomatoes are sorted twice to ensure quality. The initial sort removed off-color tomatoes. They are then steamed and peeled before they go through another sort to remove broken tomatoes. Only the very best are selected for whole or diced tomatoes.
LAB - Throughout the day, quality control experts pull samples from the production line to check tomato quality. CANNING - The moment of truth! Only top quality tomatoes and juices are canned with the latest technology to seal in the flavor.
BRINE ROOM - Think of this as our production kitchen - it's where we create specially seasoned spaghetti sauces for your family. BRIGHT STACK - Once the tomatoes are safely in the cans, they're stored using ID tags until they're ready to fill customer orders.
LABELING / CARTON ASSEMBLY / PALLET TIE - In this step, the labels are added and the cans are prepared for their final destination. FINISHED GOODS WAREHOUSE - The finished goods are ready to be shipped to a location near you!
TRUCKING - Furmano's owns its own fleet of trucks to ensure that our tomatoes arrive in a timely fashion and in the best condition. It has been a long journey, but we hope you agree - it's worth it! ON TO THE SHELVES - Your local grocer will have all the Furmano's products you need to make the great meals your family loves.
ON TO THE TABLE - The final, and most important step of the process: EATNG! Your family will love the variety of meals you can create with our diverse product line. Don't forget to share your creations with us!
