Bulk tomatoes now available

Starting Thursday, bulk red slicing tomatoes will be available for sale to CSA members during shareroom hours. If you can't fit all the tomatoes you would like in your share bag and would like to purchase large quantities of tomatoes for sauce (or you're making Caprese salad for 50 people!), see one of the CSA shopkeepers during regular pick-up hours. Extra tomatoes are also available to the public in the Dairy store, but discounted bulk prices will only be available in the CSA shareroom.

In case you were wondering, none of our tomatoes have been sprayed with any fungicides to prevent late blight. There are a number of organically approved fungicides, but we have opted not to spray at all during the past three seasons. This means that we run the risk of losing the entire crop, but we feel that the potential problems associated with spraying fungicides outweigh the potential benefits.
