The Tomato Rainbow

heirloom tomato display from the east with basketThe Tomato harvest is a rainbow of color these days. We plant varieties in almost every color imaginable, not just the classic Reds. When we line them up for taste testing, we notice the softer, mellower, sweeter notes of the yellows and oranges, and the full-bodied intensity of the reds and purples. Some are super juicy, like a Watermelon, and some are deliciously meaty (there’s a reason they call ’em Beefsteaks).

¡Langwater Farm Salsa!

Our Salsa recipe development laboratory

After some intense recipe development and testing at home, we have some fresh farm Salsa to share with you! We sent 300 lb of our own vine-ripened Tomatoes, 80 lb of our sweet Walla Walla Onions, plus our own Jalapeños and Cilantro over to a commercial kitchen in Brockton and they made us a ton of seriously yummy fresh Salsa.

It’s simple and tasty and full of fresh veggies, which is definitely our favorite way to eat.
