Michigan summer produce just keeps getting better! It’s the perfect time for local organic tomatoes! We have:
- Local organic Red Cherry Tomatoes from Yost Stutzman Farms in Blanchard
- Local organic Yellow Cherry Tomatoes from Monroe Family Organics in Alma
- Local organic Heirloom Tomatoes from Wholesome Acres Farm in Blanchard
Tomatoes have been arriving in great quantities and even better quality, with our first batch selling out in only a couple of days. There are almost infinite ways to enjoy these local tomatoes while supplies last; dipping, roasting, saucing, slicing, garnish over a healthy salad, and way more! Tomatoes are more than just delicious, but they are a great source of vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, and Antioxidants, and have been shown to lower cancer risk. Along with the health benefits, these locally grown and organic tomatoes are chemical-free, hydrating, and support our local ecosystem helping new life to thrive. There is no better time than now to experience why local produce tastes better! Stop by GreenTree Co-op today to try them before the season ends.
