DiMare began marketing its produce nationwide in 1939, drawing on the relationships it has established with tomato growers in Florida, Texas and California to meet the increased demand and, in an effort to ensure that customers received the freshest possible produce year-round, became the first U.S. company to import tomatoes from Cuba.

n a bid to gain greater control over its sourcing, DiMare planted its first tomato field in 1945, and has steadily increased its growing operations to include operations in Palm Springs, Homestead and Ruskin, Florida, as well as Indio and Newman, California.

Today, as a member of the vertically integrated DiMare Companies, DiMare Fresh has access to five farms, eight repackaging hubs and a number of sales locations across the country. The Homestead, Florida-based company grows and distributes tomatoes in a variety of styles and strains, including rounds, Romas, grapes and tomatoes on the vine.

In addition to its range of tomato products, DiMare Fresh offers citrus, avocados, bananas, berries and row crops, employing more than 4,000 between its growing operations and distribution offices in Florida, California, Texas, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
