Colby has been a key contributor to the FreshPoint team since August 2022. We think he is a great example of our value of “Drive Together,” which means working together to ensure our customers succeed and provide them with the necessary resources to thrive.

As Lead Driver, Colby not only leads the Raleigh transportation team with dedication but also steps in to support the Charlotte team whenever needed. His willingness to go above and beyond across the Carolinas shows what Drive Together is all about: achieving our goals together and celebrating as one.

Heirloom tomatoes aren’t just about color and shape, they’re about history, too. Here's a breakdown of the 4 types commonly available.

🍅 Commercial Heirlooms, which is typically thought to be a seed strain introduced to production before 1940.

🍅 Family Heirlooms – Seeds passed down through generations, often tied to specific regions or families.

🍅 Created Heirlooms – Crosses between two different varieties of heirlooms.

🍅 Mystery Heirlooms – Nature’s surprise! No one really knows how they came to be—maybe a wild variety—but one thing’s for sure: we’re glad they did.

It's Wallpaper Wednesday...and this month we are talking about tomatoes!

Tomatoes are an ancient crop, thought to have originated in Central America centuries ago. While tomatoes have become associated with Mediterranean cuisine, they were relatively late to the European pantry, not arriving until the 16th century.
