Summer Bliss is an Heirloom Tomato
Labor Day always signals to me that summer is over. But it really isn't over, because here in Oregon, September is a wonderful warm, dry month. I’m getting amazing vegetables in my weekly basket from Pumpkin Ridge Farms. I’ve belonged to this CSA for over twelve years and without a doubt, my family and I are healthier people because of it - I would never actually buy the vast amounts of dark, green leafies I am forced into cooking! It feels great knowing I’m eating an organically-grown morsel picked that very morning and that I’m helping local farmers Polly and James make a go of farm life. In every delivery, they include a note with recipes and a report of how the sun, the rain, the wind, and the bugs are effecting the crops. It’s great to be in touch with nature through your food. Check out the CSA in your area.
Happy eating,
Brenda

i frequent our local organic farmers market and am loving the abundance of heirloom tomatos. we picked up some tomato plants earlier this year and have been waiting for them to ripen, but alas, it hasn’t been a hot enough summer over here to allow them to fully peak. as i’m typing, i’m having lunch and enjoying the heirloom tomatos we picked up in central bc last week. i had no idea they came in so many colours, shapes and sizes. yum!
