I Say Tomato!
There’s something a little unusual on the shelves at the Fair Food Farmstand today: heirloom tomatoes. Tomatoes! In January! Grown in soil in the Gap, PA, greenhouses of Green Meadow Farm — the same farm that gives us the rich raspberry of John and Kira’s chocolates — the small yellow and red fruits may not have the vibrancy of August, but they are certainly an enticing alternative to the grown-for-shelf-life varieties from Florida. And their color is irresistible amid the mushroom browns and kale greens more typical of winter in Pennsylvania.
