Farm Happening (11th DELIVERY SUMMER)

Posted on August 9th, 2019 by Diane Riehm

We are often asked whether to refrigerate or to leave your tomatoes on the counter? 

Both ways are correct! 

It's okay to store tomatoes in a shady cool area on your counter top. 

BUT, then eat them up quickly! This gives you the best flavor. 

Too busy to eat them up? 

In a couple of days, place them in the refrigerator crisper drawer for 2 to 3 days. 

HOWEVER, flavor tends to decrease. But, you still have a good tomato! 

One of the best things about tomatoes is...you don’t need to do much to make a great tasting dish. 



What's the best way to keep Sweet Corn fresh? 

If you are too busy to eat right away,

leave the husk on the sweet corn, 

place in a plastic bag with the silk end tilted down into the bag.

Stays fresh for several days, so you can eat later!
