Tomato Trials and Tasting

In our Tomato Trial program, we cultivate around 40 varieties of tomatoes each season and quantify all harvested fruit.  The Trial is set up along the back road, viewable to the public, with descriptive labels and each is carefully weighed at harvest. They are grown in large pots with methods common to the average gardener.  In September we invite the public to the Tomato Tasting and evaluate the eating experience of each harvested variety.  

Our Tomato Tasting activity is Saturday, September 8, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participation is invited free of charge. Gardeners are welcome to bring a fruit sample of their favorite variety as desired. We offer simple ballots to evaluate the samples, which are quantified and published in the Tomato Trial Annual Report.
