TomatoFare 2012 East @ White Heron Cellars

TomatoFare celebrates the spirit of the season's harvest and encourages home gardeners to carry on the honored tradition of seed-saving and growing their family's own organic heirloom tomatoes. It truly is a unique community festival for food & wine lovers, chefs, family gardeners and farmers. It's a celebration of life! TomatoFare's mission is to create an ample supply of locally grown organic Heirloom Tomatoes and make our state the largest grower of heirloom tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest. Another mission is to bring growers and chefs together. For more information visit http://tomatofare.com or write martinringhofer@aol.com.
