We're rockin' it - with tomatoes that is!  Seriously, the tomato harvests coming in look amazing - so much so that I want to celebrate!  So, that's exactly what we are going to do this, Friday, June 12th,  from 6pm to 8pm as part of our Ceres Vegetable Society. And can you guess where the party will be?  Well, Rockin' Tomato, of course, at 3003 S. Lamar! I hope you can join me there from 6pm to 8pm - we'll have a pop-up market, live blue grass music, and lots of tomatoes.  All of you tomato lovers can also pre-order our organically grown tomatoes in bulk to pickup at the event. Just make sure you do it fast - the cut off time for ordering tomatoes is 2pm the day of the event, Friday, June 12th).  Click here to order large homegrown tomatoes, San Marzano sauce tomatoes, green tomatoes, plum tomatoes, mixed cherry tomatoes, mixed yellow tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and Saladette tomatoes. 

Currently, we are at the peak of our tomato season, but before long, it will be too hot in Central Texas for these plants to set fruit. Now is the time to pick up some of our locally grown, certified organic tomatoes for canning, making salsa and sauces, or just plain enjoying on their own or in sandwiches. Come join the fun and go home with the tomatoes of your choice. And, for those of you who like a surprise, you can order the special Farmer's Choice Mystery Box - this one will be filled with tomatoes hand-selected by none other than yours truly! Believe me, these mystery boxes are going to be great. And for salsa makers, we have another debut in store for tomorrow - JBG's Famous Salsa Kit featuring some of our inglorious tomatoes, onions, and serrano or jalapeno peppers, ripe and ready to be roasted.  Click here to order the Farmer's Choice Mystery Box or JBG's Famous Salsa Kit.

If you love tomatoes, I hope you will join us this Friday, June 12th, from 6pm to 8pm, at Rockin' Tomato.   And, remember, if you want to order tomatoes in bulk to pickup at the event, you need to do it now - the cut-of for ordering is Friday, June 12th at 2pm.  Just click here to pre-order, and we'll select some beautiful tomatoes for you!
