Who We Are
Distinctive, flavorful ingredients, that’s Culinary Farms – the natural smoky notes of
roasted dried tomatoes, roasted dried bell peppers and the savory richness of roasted
sun dried tomato paste. The warmth of authentic Mexican chiles and the intense, unmistakable flavor of sun dried, fresh dried and USDA Certified Organic dried tomatoes round out our ingredient range.
Guiding Principles
At the core of Culinary Farms’ philosophy are four principles. Every day, we care for our customers and our company by focusing on:
- Flavorful products
- Food safety
- Flexible production
- Fast response
Flavorful Products
Nothing else provides the zing of a chile or the tang of a tomato and we work hard to ensure our products deliver these special flavor profiles. Based in agriculture-rich northern California, we are privately held and managed by an experienced team. We understand food processing – from quality control and accountability, to the actual growing, sun drying and dehydrating of products for processing and fresh markets. Our operations are run with forethought and consistency using a variety of tools including harvest plans, a network of carefully-managed growers and just-in-time service support.
Food Safety
Our attention to sourcing and supplying the best creates the critical difference in our line of Mexican chiles. Through a unique supply and development relationship with selected growers in Mexico, the chiles we provide are pure, unadulterated and give reliable pungency, particle size and quality.
Flexible Production & Fast Response
Focused production and responsive service – that’s Culinary Farms, too. With dehydrating and sun drying facilities in the heart of the world’s premier tomato growing region, we can meet customers’ current needs and create ideas for the future. Our processing facility and cold storage warehouse allow us to be quick and flexible delivering on those needs, in time and as requested.
Certified Quality
At Culinary Farms, we are focused on reliable, measurable product quality and maintain an extensive Quality Assurance Program. Independent groups including customer auditors and independent consultants routinely review our programs.
Our dried tomatoes are produced in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and under a documented Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan. The American Institute of Baking (AIB) has consistently certified Culinary Farms with a Superior rating. We also offer a selection of tomato products that are USDA Certified Organic. And all tomato orders are accompanied by an easily traceable pack code allowing them to be traced back through processing to the field in which the tomatoes were grown.
