Baby Tomato is born and wants to say 'hello'!!



The first of my tomatoes have (been born) germinated and are thriving! Again, I get carried away and have ordered many, many different varieties of heirloom tomatoes! Old favourites like Green Zebra, Pink Brandywine, Black Krim, Striped/Old German and some new faces including: Lime Green Salad, Plum Lemon, Southern Lights, Black from Tula and many, many more. Let's not brag this year (perhaps keep it dryer out in the patch) but I am planting more than last year, just not going to start screaming amounts until they are in the ground!! Lots of organization to keep it all in check, but also a hell of a lot of fun too!! I will also be selling some plants this year. Tried and tested varieties great for patios or small garden spaces. Particularly our very popular Sweet Baby Girl the super, super sweet red cherry tomatoes, along with it's partner in crime: Sun Sugar, the super sweet yellow cherry tomatoes!! Plants will be sold well established for an affordable price with our own compost to aid in transplanting or simply maintaining in a potted environment!! Also look for early spring transplants we will also offer the markets including spring onions, lettuces & Asian Greens! I noticed no one offered these important plants early in the season, so I hope to fill a gap and create more of an income for start up costs on this very busy farm! Anyhow, all in due time, not until well into late April for anything of the sort.....
Just enjoy the nice warming baby tomato picture for now!!

TIME TO ORDER OUR ORGANIC PEROGIES & CABBAGE ROLLS!!

Image
Yep, long overdue, but I finally assembled my crew of fine ladies (and Ben!) and we are crafting our organic winter foods again!  These are handmade foods of the finest ingredients. PEROGIES! CABBAGE ROLLS!  Four kinds of perogies to choose from including a really, really good vegan one (that is actually cheaper to buy because it has no organic dairy or eggs!) The perogies are huge - twice the size of normal ones! Cabbage rolls are all vegan, (no meat ones sorry) and loaded with kale, onions, brown rice and garlic smothered in tomato sauce.  They. Are. Awesome. If Ben doesn't miss the beef - you won't either!  Processing multi-ingredient foods and getting them certified organic has intensified over the years, no doubt to the growing demand of organic foodstuffs.  It makes it a bit hard for someone who is a small-time processor like me, but I feel it to be necessary step.  Ingredient integrity is very important to us. All perogies and the cabbage rolls are CERTIFIED ORGA

September is Pepper month!

Pepper, like tomatoes are doing well for us this season.  They thrive in this heat and we were fortunate to set up and run drip irrigation with all the pepper patches.  The plants are heavy with peppers and our goal was sweet red, reds and more reds! We have red shepherds, red bells and red pimentos.  All are so sweet when high red and yummy straight up, roasted, grilled, pan fried.... ah I love this time of year. Sweet Corn was almost a bust this year!  F-ing deer and raccoons made a hell-o of a mess back there. Very depressing....BUT the second patch was left alone.  huh.  Ben thinks they just moved on. So more yummy, sweet NO GMO, sprayed with absolutely nothing organic sweet corn at all markets for a while! And a quick selfie with baby Jonah and I checking out the wagon of beefsteaks which have also been amazing this season! We are still taking orders for Romas by the way! So keep making that sauce as the weather cools down! And for any of you that follow the farm fa

It's time to order your Certified Organic Roma Tomatoes!

Image
Because of this hot, dry weather our Organic   'Viva Italia' Roma tomato crop has no disease! We have been able to irrigate when needed during the cool evenings, that combined with these hot, Mexico-like days on this dusty, dry farm the tomatoes have flourished! It is definitely what I like to call a 'tomato year'!  We have enough this year that we can sell wholesale for all your Sauce Making Needs!! All wholesale cases are 25lbs for $25. (25lbs is a half bushel amount). These tomatoes are the thickest, meatiest, tastiest, organic sauce tomato around!  It's simple. All you have to do is email me your order. (You can also head to our website at www.sosnickiorganics.com and use our contact form to place your order.)
