Bushel Boy Farms

Bushel Boy Farms was founded in Owatonna, Minn. in 1990 with a simple desire to grow fresh, local, and vine-ripened tomatoes year-round, even in the depth of a Minnesota winter. Known for their indoor farming leadership and red, ripe colored and fresh garden-flavored tomatoes, Bushel Boy has been supplying the upper Midwest with tomatoes year-round—long before locally grown was an important consumer-buying consideration. Bushel Boy’s expert agriculture team has created the perfect growing environment in its Owatonna and Mason City, Iowa facilities, combining the latest in greenhouse design and technology with the hands-on TLC it takes to produce high-quality, premium produce. Bushel Boy crops are always vine-ripened, carefully packed and rapidly shipped for maximum freshness and flavor. Bushel Boy Farms is a leader in Minnesota’s food production space and a passionate innovator in the region’s indoor farming category. With the most recent launch of its two cucumber varieties and ongoing success with tomatoes and strawberries, Bushel Boy continues to explore new consumer-driven produce varieties that help retailers create supply chain efficiencies and address market demand. The company’s unique manufacturing practice (indoor farming) continues to evolve with new technologies and enables their tomato, strawberry, and cucumber plants to grow in all weather conditions, providing upper Midwesterners with local, fresh produce to enjoy any time of year.
