Meet our Amazing Associates
These are the Associates who grow our tomatoes. But what you may not know is that they’re also growing their futures.
Every day they seize opportunities to improve professionally, academically, personally, and every day we’re amazed by what they’re able to achieve. Perhaps that’s the reason our tomatoes taste so great – because as a culture we don’t see our people as workers – we see them as remarkable humans with infinite possibilities, capable of anything.
What people are saying
Hello! I purchase your wonderful sweet little Cherubs once a week and we really enjoy them. They are clean, and well packaged with such cute pics and sayings such as "Lettuce out!" HA! :) What I appreciate the most is the way that a different employee is featured on the packaging which I think is such a wonderful, amazing, positive, and kind thing to do. Recognizing hard working members means a lot to people and Nature Sweet is very smart for doing so. Way to go Nature Sweet! A "SHOUT OUT" and a huge "Thank you" to you and all of your wonderful employees for offering such a wonderful product, you are much appreciated! Sincerely, Ms. Pierro
delicious

Hello Hermila - I bought my first package of NatureSweet tomatoes this week and looked under the cap and it mentioned you as part of the team. I came to the website and watched your story, I am so happy that you have been able to build a good life through this company and I will be a regular customer of NatureSweet tomatoes because of it. Have a great holiday season!!
Thank you for such an awesome and personal touch to your marketing and your staff. It was so cool to see Lázaro P. on the lid of my cherubs and to be able to see video of everyones stories is really wonderful. Keep up the good work everyone! We love your maters! :)
Great work, delicious tomatoes. Eat them as snacks, never make it into salad. Yummy
Miguel and Micaela, It was so wonderful to unpack my tomatoes today and see your smiling faces on the underside of the label. What a wonderful way to connect consumers to the workers behind the food they are eating. I LOVE that NatureSweet does this. It was very meaningful to watch your videos and to learn about how your work has enriched your life personally and professionally. I am so happy to meet you both in this way. I hope that you and your families are safe and healthy. I want to say a huge thank you for the work you do which enables me to have access to healthy tomatoes. I work in public health and work to change systems and policies so that everyone has access to insurance and overall health and well-being. It is so wonderful to be able to see face behind the food I purchase in the grocery store. MUCHO GRACIAS! I wish you and your families a happy and safe Thanksgiving. In health, Marla
Alfredo Thank you for your hard work and commitment to your company and the products! Our family loves cherubs!!! Happy and Safe Holidays!!! Omaha, Nebraska
Thank you for all you do so that I am able to enjoy the sweet flavor of tomatoes most of the year. I live in the northeast part of Iowa and having fresh tomatoes when the temperature is very low and snow covers the ground is a real treat. Please let the other workers know they are also appreciated.
Thank you for being here and helping feed my family and our country! Please be safe and have a very healthy and happy Holiday season! May God Bless you and your family! P.S. I have never sent a note like this and love that Naturesweet is doing this!
Vi su foto y su nombre en los tomates que he comprado. Me alegré de verla en el video de “Naturesweet”. Gracias por recoger nuestros tomates; estaban deliciosos. Espero que su vida vaya bien y seas feliz. Sabine, en Estados Unidos. (traducido por “google”)
I am so happy that you have a home and a van. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I am a nurse who will retire soon. I hope you and your family are safe. You take care, Judy
I have been eating your products for years and I love them, especially the little Cherub tomatoes! Tonight I happened to notice the picture of associate Carlos N. on the back of a label of Glorys and decided to look up your company info. The videos of associates sharing their stories was wondsrful, I watched every one! It is gratifying to see a company that values its employees and has opportunities for such job satisfaction. I love how there was such emphasis on family and work satisfaction. I am a Retiree now, but I understand what it is to do the work you love alongside those who share your vision and dedication. Thank you, for all you do. -- Betty in NorthEast Washington
Nature Sweet products are part of our regular healthy diet. We are happy to make Nature Sweet part of our family tradition. I really like being able to meet the people behind Nature Sweet Products.

Hi Brenda. So nice to hear your story and how you met your husband! You love what you do and I really think that’s the one thing that separates you.

Thank you for the job you do at Nature Sweet Tomatoes. I enjoy eating the tomatoes every day with my lunch. They always taste so good and fresh. I like having information about the employee on the back of the label. Makes it more personal and family orientated feeling. Great job!
Your tomatoes are excellent. God bless ya'll, Micaela and Salvador H.
Francisco, I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work that you do and your dedication and determination for a better life for you and your family!

Hola Hermila. Vi tu foto en el empaque y decidi seguir el link. Llegue a donde esta tu historia, y quiera decirte que eres una persona ejemplar.

Aurora San Diego, California, USA

Hello from Wisconsin! I just wanted to thank you and all the other associates for your hard work and dedication. I really liked that I was able to put a face to the person that packages the wonderful little cherub tomatoes. These will be the only ones I buy in the future. Again thank you all so much, stay safe.
I never liked cherry tomatoes until I tasted Nature Sweet Cherubs. They truly are sweet & delicious. Thank You & the other associates for your hard work in bringing this excellent product to market.
I want to thank you for sweet and tasty Cherub tomatoes! Great quality. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Hermila
I bought your tomatoes this week and on the inside was a picture of Pablo G who is a multi skills pre-harvest associate. I thought this was a good marketing strategy and I wanted to learn more about Pablo so I went to this website and ended up listening to all the stories of all the featured associates and some of the stories moved me to tears. I am so proud of everyone and I think it’s great that your company encourages people to be the best I can be. Because I’ve listen to all of the stories and I was so moved by how this company helps their associates I will buy your product(s) regularly. Great job everyone! You made me happy and proud of each and everyone of you! ( and proud of your company). Keep up the good work. PS love the recipes.
Your picture was in my tomatoes! Thank you for your hard work that puts food on our table. You are valued and appreciated. Take every opportunity your company offers you for education. A education will provide you with more opportunities and is something that can be taken away from you. God bless.
Thank you for sharing your story. Love that you met your husband at work there and that you consider the place you work your second home.
Thank you for your work, we got the tomatoes and they are delicious.

Hi Victor ! I hope this message finds you well ! Keep up the good work and I wish you success in all your endeavors!
Víctor, mi nombre es Sam Seever, tengo 14 años y vivo en Missouri, que es el medio oeste de los Estados Unidos. mi mamá me compró unos tomates de esta marca y vi tu cara en la caja, así que dije, oh, vamos, ¿qué tal si le escribo una carta a este tipo porque se ve realmente genial? Probablemente solo estoy haciendo esto porque Actualmente estoy castigado después de correr por un campo de fútbol en ropa interior durante un juego por 100 dólares que son unos 2000 pesos para ti, pero solo quiero decirte que disfrutes de la vida aunque no hayas empezado con mucho, y aunque yo no. Te conozco solo tengo ganas de enviarte esto y espero que recibas este mensaje, sinceramente, Sam Seever
Thank you for growing the Comets tomatoes. All of NatureSweet tomatoes are the best tasting tomatoes that I've had. They are consistently flavorful and delicious. I'm very grateful for all the hard work that you all do to help me eat healthy. It feels like all the workers there are like family to me since their hard work is always in my home!
Hey Victor thanks for the tomatoes! They are always amazing!

Where is Francisco?
I work at Kroger in the produce department. And we had fun looking at everyone’s information. Thank you so much for all of your hard work
Hi, these tomatoes were excellent. Great work!
Hola Alfredo! Not only do you have a job that you love, you also carry a lot of responsibility and without you, there would be no delicious tomatoes! Keep up the great work and love each day, everything and everyone you work with! Best regards, Rose (Alberta, Canada)
Hello Marisol! My name is Nathan Merchen and I'm with Ecolab-CID Lines. Ecolab is the global leader in water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions and services. We offer a disinfectant product called Virocid. The USDA did a trial with this product along with many others. Our disinfectant Virocid proved to have the highest efficacy on hands, tools, surfaces and equipment against brown rugose fruit virus and Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus. We have over half the greenhouses in tomato production currently using this product with that number rapidly increasing. I would love the chance to get to discuss this product with you over a phone call. Thank for your time. Nate
I eat the fruit right out of the container and as I finished I saw your beautiful picture! Thank you for packaging my favorite food so nicely and for all you do. Muchas Gracias!
Only recently did I really pay attention to the humorous packaging " Peel here to Lettuce Out!" Lol. And, "Wash me. Please don't refrigerate. It's too cold in there!" Which, by the way, is good and accurate advice. One of our sons-in-law was in produce for many years and shared this information with us. What really touched me was your honoring your employees by putting their pictures on your peel-off labels. Seeing their sweet faces and watching the videos in which they share their stories made me misty. These are beautiful, hard working people. I grew up in northern California, in the Yuba Sutter region, to be exact. There we had, and still have a large Hispanic population. Since childhood it was and still is a common scene to see them in the fields and orchards working hard. I went to school with many of their children. I love them and their willingness to work so very hard to provide for their families. They clearly take great pride in their jobs and they do it well. Great job, NatureSweet for showcasing these amazing people! I will continue to buy your products and keep reading their stories. -Tamara Wilson
