Fall Equinox and Canning Tomatoes

Fall has officially arrived and we can see it at the farm.  The summer squashes have stopped producing.  This is the last weekend we will have them at the market. Not to worry though, we have beautiful winter squashes just waiting to take their place.  This weekend, you’ll find the wonderful Delicata at our market booth.  This is one of my favorite winter squashes so I have lots of recipes.  Don’t hesitate to ask.

With fall comes the time to stock your pantry for the winter months ahead.  Artisan Organics has tomato seconds available for your canning projects.  Available in 30lbs boxes, these tomatoes have cosmetic blemishes but our same great flavor.  Perfect for you canning needs.  You may pick up your box(es) at the farm or your favorite Farmer’s Market.

We have the following varieties available:
Dry Land farmed Early girls – grown with no irrigation to produce a firm, rich, flavorful tomato. Great for sauces or stewed whole tomatoes.

Dry Land Farmed Fantastic! hybrid – grown with no irrigation water to produce a firm, flavorful tomato.  Larger than Early Girl. Perfect for sauces.

Mixed Heirlooms – Brandywine and Cherokee Purple.  Great for ketchup and juice.  Sweeter than the Early Girl and Fantastic! Hybrid.

Mixed Yellow Tomatoes – Taxi’s and Azyocha (a Russian Heirloom).  Makes a beautiful yellow salsa.

You may place your order at the Contact Us page.  Please include the date you’d like to receive them, where you would like to pick them up, and the number of boxes of each variety.
