Did you know you can add extra tomatoes to your order? Get a 10 lb box of mixed color heirlooms or a 1/2 bushel of canning tomatoes to stock up for winter.
Nothing beats the flavor of a vine ripened heirloom tomato. Each variety is different, and each one is a treat. Here are the varieties you may find in your share this week
Cosmonaut Volkov is an especially delicious tomato. A quirk of the variety is the shape which is often slightly triangular.
Moskvich is firm, red and tasty. Distinguished by its "stop sign" shape.
Arkansas Traveler are pink, sweet, juicy, the perfect size to eat with your lunch, and my personal favorite
Pruden's Purple is actually pink. It's very similar to Brandywine with the major advantage of maturing 3 weeks earlier. A single tomato can weigh 2 pounds!
Taxi is a long time favorite low-acid yellow variety.
Jeune Flamme is a venerable French heirloom with distinctive sweet orange fruit.
Carbon is a smokey purple tomato that looks and tastes much like Cherokee Purple with fewer problems with cracking.
Green Zebra is a fun tomato; small and sour and green when ripe.
