Cherry Tomatoes
One of the biggest crops we grow each year, our cherry tomatoes are known for being supremely flavorful and perfectly ripe. While the line-up changes slightly from year-to-year, we generally grow about 11 different varieties of cherry tomatoes. Our selection includes popular varieties like Sungolds and Sweet 100s, with a range of shapes, colors, and sizes in between. They make a perfect summer snack, are great in a salad, and fantastic roasted and tossed with pastaβ¦to name just a few ways to enjoy them!
Our cherry tomatoes are all harvested and packed by hand. We retail our cherry tomatoes under the sub-brand "Hungry Hollow", a name coined by the early farmers in this region to describe the unique micro-climate of the area we grow in.
