Tomato canning pioneer of Basin Gardens earns local praise
The Big Horn Basin gains a market solution from E M Ritter of Basin Gardens. A Hoosier by birth, Ritter moved to Wyoming, found tomatoes thrive in Basin soil, and started canning in 1911. Despite frosts last season, he canned 150 cases and plans 10 to 12 acres of tomatoes this coming summer, aiming for a larger plant after mastering the business. Ritter’s modest, hardworking approach and family life bolster support for his venture as a key regional industry. G M Tallon of Raiden visited town briefly.
