Rachel- “As long as I can get organically grown heirloom tomatoes when they are in season, I’m a happy person!” Great avatar. When lived in Carmel used to drive the coast road back and forth to San Francisco often….about 90 minutes. About twenty minutes outside the city it gets quite rural and a twisty narrow road with the ocean on one side and farm fields backed by large hills on the other. In the summer there’s no better drive with the moon roof open and the radio blasting, smells great. And there are produce stands. Huge bunches of basil, stacks of heirloom tomatoes, a riot of color just great. I never go into ‘supermarkets’ to me it all looks like over processed, unhealthy Frankenfood…and rather support the small organic farmers. In Carmel, there is a large organic farm in the next town, Carmel Valley, and they deliver a huge box of weekly produce for something like $25 to your door. What a bargain.

I meant “grape”, not plum tomatoes (safe). Plum tomatoes not safe.
