What’s in Season: Heirloom tomatoes (Part I)

You say tomato. Farmer Brooke Salvaggio says start eating.
 
“The time to buy heirloom tomatoes is right now. The season is going to be short, so you’re only going to have two to three weeks to get the best tomatoes,” says Salvaggio, who runs Badseed Farm and Market with her husband Dan Heryer.

The recent rain and an early blight fungus means that the crop you see right now is likely to be the best of summer. Salvaggio advises that with an excess of tomatoes on the market, prices should be down.
