Or just decent heirloom tomatoes, not the mealy garbage spread across half of the grocery. There are so many varieties with an abundance of unique flavors, and all relatively easy to grow yourself. Heirloom roma tomatoes are hearty, delicious, and culinarily versatile, so they’ve been my pick for ages. Haven’t lucked into an unpleasant variety yet!
I'm always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It's like night and day.
Tomatoes for selling are hardier varieties to hold up to the impacts of shipping, they are also picked unripe and ripen in transit.
The only way to get good tomatoes is grow them yourself or hit up a farmers market.
I live in a farming area and there are no real farmer's markets here. The supposed farmer's market is mostly low-grade Etsy crafts and maybe two tables reselling grocery store produce at 300% markup.
That sucks, even our local grocery store sells farm direct for a few select items. This is in a LARGE city.
What kind of farming community doesn’t have a market for them to sell privately?
I didn't know heirlooms would be just as easy to grow. I might give it a go... I love their taste, unfortunately the price is a bit on the ridiculous sometimes.
If you’ve ever managed to keep a plant alive for a week, they’re almost certainly within your capacity! They are ridiculously hard to unintentionally kill.
