Howell Farm tomatoes 2009

October 9, 2016

My husband and I have been supporters of the Farmer's Market since the 80s. I can't remember when we started to chat with Howell Farm employees but over the years we got to know them and each year the first question we would ask was "How is Johnny and when will his tomatoes start coming in?" On rare occasions we would see him, bringing flatbed trailers packed with basket after basket of tomatoes. Once, long before all this "farm to table" talk started, we stopped him to tell him how much we appreciated his produce. He quietly took us aside and told us to wait a minute... he had brought something special in. We waited, and then he motioned over to part of the truck and showed us gorgeous heirlooms that he had started "playing around with." Glad he got to see another season planted before his time on this earth was done.
