With all-natural colour and loads of flavour, every Beekist® tomato is a real sensory treat! At Beekist®, their aim is growing delicious tomatoes that are literally bursting with freshness and flavour, and to achieve that, it’s all about old-fashioned expertise.
Beekist philosophy
There’s no machine that can determine the exact time to pick a tomato, so at Beekist® they rely on an experienced eye. When the time comes, every Beekist® tomato is hand-picked, gently packed and carefully transported to your favourite food store.
Sweet or tangy, subtle or savoury, whether you’re choosing yellow, orange, mocha or traditional red, Beekist® tomatoes are grown and hand-harvested to be enjoyed at optimal flavour levels. Just perfect for everyday foodies who want to taste a tomato the way nature intended.
What tomatoes are right for me?
Beekist® grows, plucks and packs a tempting range of tomato varieties to suit all your eating needs – or culinary whims!
• When a meal or salad calls for an authentic flavour, Beekist® Heritage tomatoes have that timeless, traditional home-grown flavour. Think: tomatoes just like Grandad used to grow.
• For that classic rich, red tomato colour and flavour, Beekist® Red Delight are perfect! They’re hand-picked and packed while still on the vine, which means the vine continues to add nutrients and flavour to the tomatoes on their journey from our greenhouse to your home.

Meet the team
To achieve such amazing flavour, Beekist® tomatoes are supported by round-the-clock care, recycled rainwater irrigation and a gentle human touch every single day. The friendly growers at Beekist® are supported by another team of little helpers – humble yet hard-working bumble bees who each have their favourite flowers that they regularly visit day after day to ensure pollination just the way nature intended.
The Beekist® crew even discourages the not so-good insects with old-fashioned yellow bug tape and minimal interference.
