The tomato. There is so much you can do with this fruit and you will have the chance to sample over 40 variations in all different shapes, sizes and colors at the Tomato Tasting. You’ll receive a Tasting Note Sheet so you can jot down your favorite varieties, including where to source those varieties for growing the following season.
But this event is more than just tasting of tomatoes and enjoying some live music. There will be educational opportunities as well.
Seed Sages, a seed saving and breeding endeavor based in the Twin Cities, is not just providing the fruit for the tasting, but also will be on-hand to offer seed saving workshops. In fact, seed from the many varieties of tomatoes at the tasting will be saved from growers and shared through Seed Savers Exchange and Seed Sages at the Farmhouse in south Minneapolis.
