Heirloom Tomatoes


It has been forever since i have last posted! I must be the worst blogger ever! It has been sooooo busy on the farm and I havent had a minute to sit down literally! It has been constant watering, harvesting, going to markets...lots of work! I did manage to snap a few pictures along the way. The first is a collection of our organic heirloom tomatoes! My favorite is the Mortgage Lifter...besides being wonderfully delicious and pink and juicy, it comes with a great story. In the 1930's a guy was out on his luck financially. He developed a tomoto seed variety and was able to raise $6,000 to pay off his mortgage...thus the name Mortgage Lifter!
