Tomato Volcanoes

Where Innovation Meets Compassion

In places where soil is depleted, water is scarce, and food insecurity is rising, traditional farming often fails the people who need it most. Tomato Volcanoes were created to change that.

This breakthrough growing system produces extraordinary harvests using minimal space, minimal water, and zero harmful chemicals — proving that abundance is possible even in the harshest conditions.

Each Tomato Volcano transforms a simple 10-foot circular footprint into a powerful source of nourishment, resilience, and dignity.

Growing More Food with Less of Everything

Tomato Volcanoes are designed for efficiency without compromise.

Unlike conventional trellised tomato systems that require cages, tying, constant replanting, and heavy labor, Tomato Volcanoes allow plants to grow naturally — forming living domes heavy with fruit.

In seasonal climates, thousands of tomatoes can be harvested in just a few months. In controlled environments, production can continue for up to two years, dramatically reducing cost, waste, and labor.

The elevated, ventilated structure improves airflow, reduces disease pressure, deters pests, and conserves precious water — making Tomato Volcanoes one of the most water-efficient tomato systems ever developed.

From a Garden Structure to a Community Solution

When a Tomato Volcano is placed in a community garden or urban farm, something bigger than food begins to grow.

Growing To Give uses these systems to empower people not just to grow tomatoes — but to grow confidence, independence, and hope. Each installation is designed to be taught, shared, and passed forward, creating a ripple effect of abundance where it’s needed most.

Every Tomato Volcano brings us closer to a world where fresh, healthy food is accessible to everyone.

Help Us Help Others

There is no single “right” way to support this work. Every contribution — large or small — helps turn innovation into nourishment.

$25 Plants Seeds of Possibility

Your $25 donation helps build and maintain our global tomato seed bank.

We source, preserve, and protect resilient, region-specific tomato varieties from around the world — from heat-tolerant African heirlooms to salt-resistant island cultivars. These seeds ensure that when a Tomato Volcano is deployed, it’s paired with varieties that thrive locally.

When disaster strikes or a new garden is launched, we don’t wait. We plant.

Your gift helps:

• Collect and store tomato seeds from around the world

• Conserve and protect heirloom tomato varieties

• Ensure rapid, locally adapted food production wherever needed

This is more than a seed bank — it’s a global food security response system.

$50 Helps Build a Tomato Volcano

Your $50 donation helps build a Tomato Volcano — a durable, marine-grade stainless-steel structure engineered to support over 5,000 pounds of tomatoes and last for decades.

This volcano doesn’t erupt with lava — it erupts with life, nourishment, and harvests that can feed entire communities.

Your gift helps:

• Build a stainless-steel Tomato Volcano

$100 Helps Install a Tomato Volcano

Your $100 donation helps install a Tomato Volcano — turning a powerful growing system into a living, productive food source within a community.

This support covers the hands-on work required to move a Tomato Volcano from readiness to reality. From preparing the site to planting the first tomatoes, your gift ensures the system is correctly placed, properly connected, and set up for long-term success.

Each installation is carefully planned to match local conditions, ensuring the Tomato Volcano performs at its best from day one.

Your gift helps:

• Build a protective wooden shipping crate for safe transport

• Ship the Tomato Volcano to the installation site

• Prepare and level the site for stability and drainage

• Position the Tomato Volcano in a sun or shade-appropriate location

• Connect irrigation and nutrient delivery systems

• Plant tomatoes and guide early growth and training

With your support, a Tomato Volcano doesn’t just arrive — it’s installed, planted, and set in motion to feed people for seasons to come.
