Tomato Tasting Saturday at Larchmont Farmers Market

Now that the summer crop is coming in, the Larchmont farmers market will be offering a tomato tasting Saturday.

The market is open from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays in the Metro North parking lot off Chatsworth Avenue.

The New Rochelle Market Hot Amy Gardiner had several kinds of tomatoes available from Alex's Tomato Farm and Dagele Brothers for shoppers to taste Friday.

There were two kinds of vine-ripened beefsteak tomatoes, as well as grape and cherry tomatoes.

Gardiner said that now was the time to buy tomatoes in bulk.

"Come and get your tomatoes, because it's canning season," she said. "You will have them on hand until tomatoes are out again."
