In the last episode, I mean blog post, I mentioned how we had more tomatoes than you could shake a stick at.  A very big stick.  Now we have more tomatoes than you can shake a telephone pole at, if you were able to shake a telephone, and were so inclined.

So, time to sell what we can, and can the rest.  Stop by our farmstand on Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:30 pm, and load up on a wide range of tomatoes, including Heirlooms!  Or, feel free to contact us to place an order.  If you are a restaurant, food co-op or other grocery store looking to support local farms, get in touch!

If you are in Nederland, or stopping through, I highly recommend the Savory Cafe.  Not only do they buy some of our produce, they have the best food in town!

Can your tomatoes, and salsa, and pasta sauce!  I posted some info on canning on my Colorado Local Sustainability website, check it out! Canning is not as hard as you think.  Heck, if I could make a batch of my pasta sauce and can that in between doing ad sales for the Rocky Mountain Growers Directory, you can too!

We have a few tomatoes… about 80 pounds picked over the past week!  Whew!  Stop by the farm stand and buy a few pounds.  Add them to your salad, make Caprese salad, make a batch of salsa or tomato sauce, or start canning.

Tomatoes fresh from the farm or garden just can’t be beat.  One of our CSA working share members said she never liked tomatoes until she had a truly fresh tomato from the garden.  Tomatoes from the store just do not compare, eat fresh, eat local!

Check out this article, Terrific Tomato Soup and other Tomato Recipes for more ideas on what you can do with all these tomatoes you get in your CSA box, or buy at our farm stand.
