How we Love our Heirloom Tomatoes

August 15, 2018 – 10:44 am

We have now started full-on tomato season.  For most people, they are the star of the summer veggies and we all have our favorites. We choose our varieties primarily on taste.  We mostly grow heirlooms for that reason.  We are small, harvest often and can get them beautifully vine ripened and then directly to you. […]

Tomato Pesto Frittata

April 19, 2018 – 9:24 am

A little flashback of a recipe Penelope made for us years ago that somehow never got published.  This grey, snowy, icy Spring when many are dreaming of summer seemed like just the moment.  A touch of summer flavors while we are waiting for Spring and Summer. Whipped this up the other day for farmer lunch […]

Charred Pepper Steak Sauce

September 28, 2017 – 8:05 am
