Thomas Canning/Thomas Utopia Tomatoes
www.thomascanning.com
A third-generation tomato processor, Bill Thomas has a simple philosophy: "I like to support local. We're trying not to waste anything, everything has a use."
Bill works together with his brothers Jack and Bob and their families. Thomas Canning boasts 50 to 60 per cent organic production currently, with a goal to achieve 100% organic, and all the tomatoes sourced for production are grown in Ontario.
The Thomas family began processing and canning tomatoes in 1933, establishing operations in Essex County, an area known for its excellent vegetable-growing soils and mild climate. The area runs north from Lake Erie with a moderate and moist climate particularly suited to the crop.
You will find delicious Thomas Utopia tomatoes in Ontario’s Own Sauce Bolognese, Pork’n’Beans, and Chili con Carne.
