Red Tomato, Inc. is a small nonprofit based in Providence, Rhode Island, founded in 1997, that works to deliver fresh produce while pursuing a more sustainable and ethical food system. Rooted in fair trade principles, the organization aims to promote fairness, transparency, and sustainability across its operations, including stewardship of the land and equitable treatment of farmers and workers. It seeks to ensure access to affordable, healthy food and the financial well-being of both its network of farms and the nonprofit itself. By leveraging lean systems and existing wholesale distribution, Red Tomato moves a range of produce—from apples to zucchini—to local grocery stores, produce distributors, neighborhood restaurants, and schools and colleges across the Northeast at affordable prices. Within the Northeast farming and food distribution landscape, Red Tomato positions itself as a value-driven intermediary that supports farmers, distributors, and institutions seeking equitable, transparent supply chains. A notable 2025 development includes a partnership with Busch's Fresh Food Market to expand Michigan-grown apples into stores across the state.
