“There’s nothing finer in life than true love and a home-grown tomato.”
Gary Ibsen, The Great Tomato Book
The past few weeks, our farm box has contained some heirloom varieties including the green zebra. I like to drizzle our Stonehouse Extra Virgin Lisbon Lemon Olive Oil on them — yummy about any which way you eat them!
If you’re lucky enough to live in Carmel, California, you may have visited the TomatoFest organized by Ibsen for the past 17 years. However, he retired last year from the event, so not sure anyone else has picked up the job. So have your own tomato fest in your backyard or farmer’s market !
