Tomatoes: Heirloom Mix-Organic (per pound)

Description

Grown by High Prairie Farm (Brookings) using organic practices. A mix of heirloom varieties (described below), vine-ripened, sweetened by the sun, and harvested at peak flavor – all the things you would expect from a farm-grown tomato! Varieties in the mix can include:

Brandywine: Its sandwich-sized fruit can grow up to 1.5 lbs. Brandywines are described as having a “great tomatoey flavor”, offset by an appealing acidity. It has a beefsteak tomato shape, mixed red and deep purple flesh, and can have green shoulders near the stem even when fully ripe.

Black Krim: These are medium-sized, beefsteak-type tomatoes with a flattened globe shape. The outer skin is dark maroon, although with sufficient sunlight and heat they can turn almost black, with greenish-brown shoulders. The flavor is intense, with a sweetness that is balanced by notes of acidity, giving it a distinct, slightly salty taste.

Abe Lincoln: Beautiful dark red fruits, sweet, solid and meaty. Fruits are smooth, free from cracks and seams, and – although large – ripen all the way through. Ideal for ketchup, juice or slicing.

Beefsteak: Aptly named for their large size and meaty texture; some easily weigh more than 2 pounds. Beefsteaks have the classic tomato flavor. The beefsteak is made for slicing and eating raw and staying together.
