We just finished planting 49,440 tomato plants! It's like farmers gone wild over here at JBG. We are caught in a tizzy of tomatoes, and want to extend a special offer to you. For this week only, we’re having a bulk tomato pre-sale. We will be offering 25 lbs of our mouth-watering beef steak slicing tomatoes for $50! That’s right, you heard us! This is a discounted price from our regular bulk sale prices in June and July. Beef steak tomatoes are our favorite variety for BLTs, hamburgers, and tomato sandwiches. They are great for slicing, dicing, juicing, canning, roasting, saucing, sandwiches, and salads. These are the all-around tomato and are sweet, juicy, and delectable! Pre-order them now, and we will deliver them to a farmers’ market of your choice during the peak of our tomato season. Projected delivery dates are between June 1st and June 30th. We will contact you to schedule your pickup day.

Why all the pre-sale hype? Well, this year’s ‘mater harvest should be one for the books. We have chosen some exquisite varieties for you this year, and we should have quite the bumper crop. Every time we walk by our rows of tomatoes, our mouths start watering at the thought of farm-fresh BLTs, bright tomato sauces, and perhaps our favorite way to enjoy a homegrown tomato - sliced thick with salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil. We got that ‘mater mania! How can you not start ruminating on salsa, homemade ketchup, margherita pizza, marinara sauce, caprese salad, and all the summertime sweetness when waltzing through the vastness of the tomato fields? We love the succulent produce that comes with the impending and sweltering heat. We listed some all-star food blog recipes below to get you pondering and perusing what you will be making with your tomatoes this season.
