Our lovely heirloom tomatoes are ready! We are thrilled.

Many would say that if you’ve never had an heirloom tomato then you’ve never tasted a real tomato.

We know how true this is.

Yes, at first glance the heirloom tomato may look weird to you, with its less than perfect round shape met with a few scarred splits in the skin, but don’t let that deter you.

These tomatoes are a rare gastronomical treat, passed down from generations of farmers and free from any science-driven genetic engineering.
