Vendor: Rasmussen Farm

Heirloom mix, ripeness varied to last, cracks & blemishes yes, but oh so flavorful! For eating fresh tomatoes, there is nothing more divine. Our tomatoes have not been babied in a greenhouse and have been watered at the whim of the rain. This leads to cracks and other visual imperfections - but also to deep, full flavor. Once harvested, they are never stored in a cold room, so they maintain their natural texture. Not entirely vine-ripened, but completely pesticide-free.
We'll select a range from tomatoes best eaten the day you get them to some that should sit for several days. A gentle touch will let you know which ones are ready. A range of colors, flavors, sizes, & shapes, all with the kind of full-flavored heirloom tomato taste not found in store-bought tomatoes.

Plum Tomatoes: Heirloom plum tomatoes are meaty and flavorful, nothing like those tasteless ones at the grocery store. Excellent for salads, salsa, or sauce!
