Tomato Week!

aldebaran slicers

We're in the thick of summer and tomatoes are gracing our farmers tables: large & small, picture perfect or creatively contorted, red, green, yellow, blush, purple. Heirloom tomatoes grown from treasured seeds. All with a flavor profile just a smidge different than the other. Thursday we're celebrating the tomato with a tasting. Stop by our growers tables and sample their tomatoes. Take home a full tasting. Make tomato sandwiches, salads, sauces, and more!
