\nReeves Farms home.grown<\/em><\/strong>. Tomatoes<\/span>
\nWe\u2019ve been sourcing tomatoes and a variety of other crops from Reeves Farms in Baldwinsville, New York for over 25 years. Brian Reeves and the folks at this family-run farm are tomato growing fanatics. If you grow tomatoes at home each year, they recommend grape and cherry varieties. These bite-size varieties are great for home gardens and container growing, and tend to have better disease resistance than some larger varieties. Whether they\u2019re talking about home gardens or vegetable farming, the Reeves Farms team is big on beefsteaks, too. You can\u2019t go wrong with a big, juicy tomato. We\u2019re excited to get our first delivery of Reeves Farms home.grown<\/em><\/strong>. tomatoes later this growing season!

\nOval-shaped Romas are the tomatoes to select for sauces or
\nother cooked dishes. They are fleshier and contain less water, resulting in thicker, richer sauces. Romas are also a great choice for topping a pizza or bruschetta.

\nTomatoes harvested on the vine tend to have a fuller flavor and a deeper red color, indicating a riper fruit. Use these small, juicy tomatoes in salads or sandwiches.

\nHeirloom Varieties<\/span>
\nColorful displays of heirloom tomatoes, in hues from bright yellow to dark purplish-green, are now a common sight in many markets. \u201cHeirloom\u201d refers to the fact that these are old varieties that have not been bred for traits such as pest resistance or sturdiness. Because of this, these tomatoes tend to be delicate and sell at a premium price, but their exquisite taste is worth the splurge. Prepare them as simply as possible to fully appreciate their unique flavors.
