DietID_TeamDietitians 11yr August can't come soon enough! -
olivettefarm 11yr @Rachna I know! Such a long wait, but so worth it! -
DietID_TeamDietitians 11yr Ya it's crazy -- the farmers markets in Michigan had local tomatoes up until 2 weeks ago. I'm wondering if they are just greenhouse tomatoes. Do you guys see tomatoes down in Asheville through the winter?
-
olivettefarm 11yr @Rachna that's crazy! Tomatoes tend to disappear from about November until June around here. Sometimes greenhouse tomatoes last into early December. January tomatoes you're seeing probably come from people with heated greenhouses and not many disease issues.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians 11yr Ahhh interesting. I'll ask them next week to get the skinny. I was just so shocked to see them so I bought them. Didn't taste nearly as delish as the summer ones, but a local tomato in January is hard to pass up!
-
olivettefarm 11yr @Rachna definitely hard to pass up! I'm interested to hear what they're doing.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians 11yr Will keep you posted for sure

sugardetoxme 11yr I can't wait for more of your #InSeason farm posts Justin -
olivettefarm 11yr @sugardetoxme Thanks, Summer! Only one more month until we have veggies again.
Little baby butternut squash.
I'm a big fan of growing these personal sized ones. They're a little sweeter than larger ones and a bit easier to manage when cooking.
-
munchiemummy Are they a different variety, or just smaller?
-
olivettefarm @munchiemummy different variety. (Sorry for the very delayed response)
So many tomatoes!
Tomatoes come in such a wide variety of colors, flavored and textures. It's one of my favorite parts about growing tomatoes. What are some of your favorite tomato varieties?
Tomatoes!
The best time of year. At least until I'm sick of picking them :)
