IMMOKALEE, FL - Lipman Family Farms, the largest open-field tomato grower in North America, is proud to announce a new partnership with Florida-based West Coast Tomato to sell and market their round and Roma tomato crop for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.

This agreement strengthens Lipman’s domestic supply chain by securing access to a reliable, locally grown tomato crop. As a result, customers can expect increased consistency and quality throughout the colder months when supply is traditionally more limited.

“This deal aligns with our ongoing commitment to delivering fresh produce year-round while supporting regional growers and ensuring supply chain continuity,” said Elyse Lipman, CEO at Lipman Family Farms, in a press release.

West Coast Tomato has strong roots in Florida agriculture. Led by Dan McClure, 5th generation of family leadership, the company has farmed in Florida for 80 years. The company now owns farming and packinghouse operations in Palmetto and Immokalee, Florida.

“We’ve had a longstanding connection with Lipman as long-term growers in Florida, and we look forward to the next chapter for both teams to partner at this level,” explained Bob Spencer, President of West Coast Tomato.

The collaboration reflects Lipman’s continued focus on strategic growth, regional partnerships, and delivering trusted products to its customers 365 days a year. This deal follows Lipman’s acquisition of Jones & Church farms in 2024 and Shelton & Sons Farms in 2025, both field tomato farms in Tennessee.
