Announcing the sixth annual Tomatopalooza™ heirloom tomato tasting!

Date: Saturday July 26

Time: 1~4pm – tomato tasting

Location: TBD (Possibly same as last year)

About the tasting: all are encouraged to bring samples of tomatoes to taste from their gardens. We hope to get as many as 200 or more different varieties of tomatoes to taste. The supply of varieties will, of course, be dependent upon what’s ripe on that date! Please also feel free to donate a favorite dish to the event. We look forward to seeing you all in July!
