August 17th - Finally, Ripe Tomatoes!
Tomatoes are picked daily when ripe and placed in the store.
One quart is $4.50 (this is less than $3 /lb) or $1 each tomato.
Please do not pick tomatoes or handle tomatoes. Since they are heirloom, they are very fragile.
Thank you.

Fill a Smaller Basket with Italian Specialty Vegetables
We will offer a smaller sized basket for our custom Italian vegetables - these can not be offered in your typical laundry sized basket but you will get a generous supply within reason. There will be certain items you can't pick directly from our fields - like the garlic. It is picked and hung to dry in July - once it is ready for sale - we will apportion member sized baskets available in the store to deduct from your share. Hardneck garlic retails for $1.30 at garlic festivals and stores - members will pay 40% less. Tomatoes and Peppers - these are all heirloom varieties which sell for $4/lb retail - they must be picked at the right stage of ripeness - we'll offer a generous supply in a smaller sized basket. Members will receive instruction on how to pick and handle these items correctly - and are welcome to pick directly from the fields within reason - so that all members get a share of these items.
