What's In-Season?
Cocoa tomatoes
Cocoa tomatoes are succulent with a savory, broth-like flavoring. The greener variety will be more robust while the riper variety is generally more sweet.
Heritage Beefs
Heritage Beefs have a rustic appearance and robust flavor profile. Try it filled with chicken salad or on a BLT.
Cluster Tomatoes
Cluster Tomatoes are perfect as a wholesome, colorful addition to any salad or entrée and provide a rich taste that only vine ripening can bring.
Gourmet Cocktail
Gourmet Cocktail tomatoes are slightly larger than cherry tomatoes with a long shelf life and a medium sweet, full flavor. Try adding them to your favorite recipe.
Cherry Tomatoes
Cherry Tomatoes on the Vine may be tiny but pack HUGE flavor. These super sweet tomatoes are great for snacking and will last longer if you leave them on the vine until ready to eat.
Hot House Tomatoes
Hot House Tomatoes, also known as Beefsteaks, are great for stuffing and grilling. Large, plump and juicy, they are a staple for traditional tomato dishes.
Grape Tomatoes
Grape Tomatoes are mini tomatoes with a robust sweet flavor. Try them tossed in a salad or as a snack.
Roma Tomatoes
Roma Tomatoes, also known as plum tomatoes, contain very few seeds and have a sweet flavor. Romas are commonly used in sauces and tomato paste.

Featured recipe
Tomato, Chive & Goat Cheese Scrambled Eggs
This fresh breakfast scramble is great served over grilled rustic bread.
Serves 2 – 4
Ingredients- 4 Beefsteak/Hothouse Tomatoes
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- a few grinds fresh pepper
- 2 tsp butter
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh chives
- 3 Tbsp (2 oz) crumbled soft goat cheese
Directions
Cut tomatoes in half, squeeze out (and discard) seeds, then dice. Set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter over medium heat in a 10” nonstick skillet until butter is melted and bubbling. Add egg mixture and cook slowly, stirring with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until eggs are almost set.* Stir in tomatoes and chives. Sprinkle with goat cheese. Serve with thick-sliced good-quality grilled bread.
*Chef’s Note: As eggs set and you add tomatoes, eggs will begin to look wet or undercooked; do not worry, they are cooked. If you have kept the heat low, the moisture is from the tomatoes. Do not raise the heat or overcook the eggs, as this will cause them to break and look curdled and wet.
