* The PYO tomatoes are not loaded but there are some out there for u-pick! * As we mentioned last week, with all of this rain the tomatoes tend to crack and split, especially the tasty heirlooms, so if you pick them a bit under ripe, but full size, and lay them out somewhere to finish ripening they will eventually be ripe and beautiful. There are all sorts of organic tomato types and varieties: paste, cherry, heirlooms like Brandywine and Striped German, and regular round red ones. *u-pick price per lb. for organic tomatoes is $.50/lb. * At this time, we are not able to take already picked tomato orders. We will update you all if we’re able to take orders as the season goes on. We will have small amounts of tomatoes for sale on the farm stand this week and next, but no canning quantities yet. * Please do not pick when wet, like after a heavy dew or rain.
* The tomatoes are diagonally across the road from the farm store. We have a tomato sign up by the 2nd gas line orange marker post coming from our farm (if you’re heading to the tomatoes from our farm driveway, turn RIGHT out of the driveway and the field will be on your left 7 telephone poles down from the farm. Please pull into the driveway without the mailbox- look for the tomato sign!)
* Please stop at the stand first for directions and a map showing where each kind of tomato is.
* Every 8 rows there is a mowed section.
* There will be a fluorescent streamer dividing the field. You may pick any tomatoes on your side of the streamer.
* The tomatoes for us to pick for the stand will be the ones on the farther side of that streamer, so please do not pick there.
* There will be a mowed parking area, but the driveway is just a dirt farm driveway, so your car might object if it’s rained heavily recently.
* Please bring your own picking containers.
* Please do not pick when wet, like after a heavy dew or rain.
