This round, smooth fruit with a brilliant orange uniform color weighs around 8-10 oz. It is a midseason indeterminate tomato that grows well in northern and cooler climates . It is a family heirloom from Maine. Some say it is called "Valencia" because it looks like a Valencia orange, while others suspect it came from Valencia, Spain. The tomato has an excellent, full, complex tomato taste, with a great balance of acidic and sweet. It is meaty and rich with few seeds. Tasters describe the Valencia as bursting with flavor, rich and buttery as well as pineapple-like, sweet and refreshing.
Our story is a simple one. One woman, one idea, one plot of land. Since 1990, when a small plot was reclaimed in the heart of the city, ReVision Family Home and Urban Farm has given shelter and hope to pregnant and parenting homeless women - its Urban Farm cultivating an appreciation of the land and the bounty it can offer.
It is a happy story of all things possible when lives are given the proper environment, sunlight, and time to grow.

Becoming a member of Victory Acres CSA is not quite like going to the supermarket. Most of those vegetables will have traveled over 1,500 miles, and will have been harvested days or even weeks previous. Vegetables grown at Victory Acres are harvested just a few short hours before distribution to our CSA members. The ripeness, the texture, the nutrition, the color, the variety -- there is no comparison! It's Good Food! Then there is the Good Work.
