Heirloom Tomatoes
Nothing says summer more than a big, juicy, colorful heirloom tomato! We love growing these beauties out in the fields. We grow a handful of varieties that we have decided on after years of trials, testing, and tasting to determine what are the most flavorful, consistent and resilient in our growing region and soils. Just like the cherry tomatoes, we aim to harvest as close to full ripeness as we can while still providing you with an intact, quality tomato to take home. Grown in our certified organic soils, with buried drip, our heirlooms taste as good as they look.
Our heirlooms are not very widely distributed, as our other produce is. They can be found in some local markets, and through our on-farm sales (locals, call our office for availability and pricing, then take a trip out to the farm to pick-up). To find out why we have cut back on our growing and distribution of heirloom tomatoes, read: Why We Won’t Be Growing Heirlooms in 2018.
*Tip: Heirloom tomatoes are perfect to eat when they yield to slight pressure, but should not feel mushy.
