Tomatoes are In! Omni 7/16

Yippee! The tomatoes are in already. Can’t wait for you all to taste the amazing tomatoes from the farm.

Hello everyone. It’s Michelle here blogging today as Mary winds up her family vacation in Canada.

As most of you know, Jordan(my partner) and I drove to Florida to see family, hold a new nephew, eat southern food and to take long walks on the beach.  We logged 2500 miles and stopped for all of our favorite southern foods along the way. Our favorites were Indiana tomatoes, Ga Peaches, Boiled peanuts, white acre peas, baby butter beans and watermelon. YUM! I do love the treat of eating local.I also visited the Jacksonville, Florida farmers market which is about a city block. They had tons of fresh melons, fresh peas, and tomatoes not to mention a vast selection of just about anything you could imagine.
