It’s hailing tomatoes. Like something from the bible-like locusts, except tastier. Think of the possibilities: Tomato Sauce, Salads, Panzanella, Bloody Mary, Caprese, Salsa, Gazpacho, Bruschetta and BLT’s (bacon, locust and tomato sandwich). Take your pick. All the farmers’ markets around town are overflowing with them.
Just to clear up any lingering confusion, Sunset Valley farmers market is still open. It’s just under new management. The city of Sunset Valley asked the Sustainable Food Center, the organization that manage the Triangle and Republic Park markets, to take over operations. Great move. I was not a fan of how it was run before. Suzanne Santos now manages all three of SFC’s markets and couldn’t be doing a better job.
