About the tasting: all are encouraged to bring samples of tomatoes to taste from their gardens. We hope to get as many different varieties of tomatoes to taste. The supply of varieties will, of course, be dependent upon what’s ripe on that date! Next year we will have some more unique surprises, so don’t miss it! We look forward to seeing you all in July!
