Afitomate is an innovative farm, where the fruitfulness of the soil meets the most modern automated systems for controlling growing conditions, and the employees' care for the taste of the vegetables and their care is like their own garden. We use the best traditional and modern techniques to grow delicious tomatoes and vegetables sustainably. In addition to tomatoes, we grow low temperature vegetables (lettuce, green onions, green garlic, spinach, radishes), aubergines in summer/autumn glasshouses and autumn cabbages in the open.
