"Love Apples" at their peak!

Did you know that an early Italian or Spanish marketeer, in an attempt to enthuse European's palates, labeled tomatoes an aphrodisiac and coined the term poma amoris. Hence, tomatoes became known as "Love Apples". Even just a glance of these beauties and certainly with a taste, tomato lovers get why they were named as such.

What about SIW's Love Apples? Well, after a brief period between patches, our tomatoes, both Heirlooms and our Fabulous field tomatoes (Fabulous is the name of the variety we grow!) are back in full force. The cooler nights slow down the ripening in the field but we have plenty of amazingly delicious "love apples" to choose from. They will continue till frost so we have lots of good eatin' to come. 

We've already had a couple of batches made this year of our simply delicious Tomato Sauce. Get yours by the pint or quart, or if you want to stock up for the winter, or get some to bring to your friends, we offer a 10% discount on full cases. We have our classic tomato, onion and garlic; classic with Basil; and we offer a limited edition Heirloom variety. 

And what else goes better with tomatoes than fresh Artisan Bread? These guys (LeBus Bakery) make some pretty awesome bread and foccacia. They are delivered fresh, every day. ENJOY!!!

September is Harvest Season!

Although we are experiencing a slight lull in tomatoes due to being between patches right now, there are TONS of amazing heirloom and field tomatoes still  to come. For lunch today I had a tomato sandwich with a Brandywine heirloom, Claudio fresh mozzarella, with mayo on our LeBus bakery sliced Italian bread. It was SUMMER DIVINE as it gets. I was going to put pesto on one side of the bread but decided not to. I was so glad I'd refrained from the pesto as the Brandywine tomato flavor was so amazing!

And our eggplants continue to be plentiful and just plain gorgeous. We have a shape for whatever it is you wish to make. For the grill: Simply cut to the desired shape you want (the lavender striped fairy tale can be cooked whole), brush with olive oil and grill for 10 minutes per side on medium heat. Add a dash of balsamic vinaigrette, or a little salt and pepper and enjoy the flavors of summer.

We're Pickin' Corn!

Yesterday we picked the first corn of the season. Yum, yum, yum!
It's bi-color and it is very sweet, crisp and delicious. We pick it everyday, as many times a day as we need to. For your eatin' pleasure!
