MASTER GARDENERS ANNUAL TOMATO TASTING CONTEST
If you are like most gardeners, tomatoes are number one in
your heart. Most of us eagerly
anticipate the first delicious fruit of the season. We are all looking for the perfect
tomato. Saturday, August 31st is your
chance to put your tomatoes to the ultimate test! Amador Master Gardeners are sponsoring a
tomato judging and tasting at the Sutter Creek Farmers Market.
Bring at least one
washed tomato of each variety (at least five cherry tomatoes) to the Sutter
Creek Farmers Market by 9:30 AM on Saturday, August 31st. The judges will announce their favorites at
10:30 AM. The largest tomato will
receive a special award. Join us for the public tasting and you will have the
fun of tasting all kinds of tomatoes, from tiny grape-size tomatoes to giants
the size of grapefruits, and a variety of colors, including yellow, orange,
pink, tiger striped, and of course, ruby red.
We are sure to have a tomato you’ve never tasted before and that may
become your new favorite.
