Our Roots in Ridgefield

A Family Tradition

Growing incredible produce isn't just our business; it's our family legacy. For over 25 years, Ashley's parents, Sarah and Donald, cultivated this land as Ridgefield Hydrofarm. Today, we—Ashley and Kiley Poole, along with our three kids, Scarlett, Arthur, and Callum—are proud to carry that tradition forward as Pioneer Produce.

We operate a state-of-the-art, 100% pesticide-free hydroponic greenhouse. By starting our crops in the deep winter, we bring you vibrant, healthy produce from mid-May right through August.

"We believe a tomato should be picked red, never green. That is why we harvest the exact morning of the market."

100% Pesticide Free

Grown safely and sustainably in our Ridgefield greenhouse.

Fresh From The Greenhouse

Picked this morning. Vine-ripened to absolute perfection. Here is what we are bringing to the market this season.

The Slicer

Rebelski Beefsteaks

Large, vibrant red, and beautifully ribbed. The ultimate thick-slicing tomato for sandwiches, burgers, and fresh summer salads.

The Snack

Favorita Grapes

Incredibly sweet, bite-sized bursts of flavor. Hand-picked at peak redness for the perfect healthy snack straight out of the pint.

The Crunch

Long English Cukes

Crisp, refreshing, and thin-skinned so there's no need to peel. Grown alongside our signature tomatoes in our pesticide-free environment.

Heard at the Market

I literally wait all winter for Pioneer Produce to come back. The Favoritas never make it home; my kids eat the entire pint in the car.

You can actually taste the difference. Knowing the Poole family picks these the same morning makes them worth every single penny.
