Tomato Day

Tomatoes may be THE most versatile food that the market offers; a kitchen staple that combines easily with so many other things- salad, pasta, sandwiches, even pies. Try Heirloom, hybrid, beefsteak, plum, cherry, pear, yellow, purple, red or green. This week we celebrate these amazing varieties of tomatoes grown by our farmers, as well as the sauces, relishes, and baked goods brought by our inventive and creative food vendors.

From our Farmers:
Long Life Farm will offer sample take-home packages of cherry tomatoes for the first 100 visitors to their tent. They are asking that people vote for their favorite on the Facebook link on the package.
Sunshine & Upswing Farms will have plenty of tomatoes- varieties of heirloom, cherry, grape and more, with descriptions of flavors and best uses to help you decide which ones to buy.

From our Vendors:

Crust Artisan Bakeshop: Offering 4 tomato special features; tomato and goat cheese croissants, tomato and basil Focaccia bread, tomato rarebit, and savory tomato and bacon bread pudding
Dulce D Leche: Offering 2 special items; croissants filled with sun-dried tomato and chèvre cheese, and a special Chicago-style deep dish tomato and cheese pie-two layers of dough, two layers of cheese, and a heaping helping of crushed tomato sauce, topped with parmesan cheese.
