The heirloom tomatoes are in

The wait is over. Our heirloom tomatoes have started coming in heavy, and the table is full of color — smoky Cherokee Purple, classic pink Brandywine, and the heat-proof Arkansas Traveler that keeps its flavor no matter how hot the week gets.

If you have never had a real heirloom tomato, warm from the plant, this is the moment. Slice one thick, add a little flaky salt, and you will understand why we grow them. Bring a bag — they go fast.
