October 31 was the last day of business for the farmers market where I worked this spring and summer. Sigh. My bosses buy a lot of the produce that they sell from the Mennonite community that is a little over an hour away but they also grow crops on the farm. It's a good mix of home grown and local. The growing season is done and now we wait until spring for Treadway Gardens to open their 57th year of business.
My boss gave a box filled with over 20 fresh red and heirloom tomatoes to me on my last day of work. What a treasure! I've made a few tomato sandwiches, quartered and diced some for freezing, and with the last few made a tomato tart for the end-of-the-season employee party. For the party I always try to make something that includes veggies from the farm and so the tomatoes were the inspiration for the Last Supper of the 2025 Treadway Gardens season.

DeleteLooks delicious,
ReplyDeleteIt was! Not a piece left.
DeleteThat tart looks so delicious. You can't beat a nice tomato grown in midwestern soil.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with your comment about midwestern tomatoes.
DeleteThe tart looks yummy. I love tomato sandwiches. My grandfather grew the best tomatoes.
