Background Information:
Tomatoes are available from late June through October. We grow a variety of cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes and slicing tomatoes.

Basic Usage and Cooking Strategies:
Use when ripe and add to a salad. Slice heirloom tomatoes and display on a large plate, drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper for an easy appetizer. Roast tomatoes for a more intense sweetness and to concentrate the flavor. Halve cherry tomatoes and mix with red onion and cucumber, and your favorite vinaigrette dressing, for a tomato salad.

Storage Information:
Tomatoes should be stored at room temperature until ripe and then used within 1-2 days. Freeze or can to use throughout the winter and spring.
