Who said a salad has to be green and flat? Try this quick red and vertical tomato salad recipe.
Slice a variety of garden tomatoes and stack the slices vertically. Beef Steak, Better Boys and any heirloom tomato variety work great, add a slice of yellow tomato to the vertical stack if you want an extra pop of color.
Drizzle the vertical stack of tomato slices with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle your favorite fresh herbs, like basil, dill or thyme on top. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Salad greens can be added by placing the vertical tomato salad on a bed of arugula or by placing steamed or fresh greens beside of the vertical tomato salad.
Small, marbled sized tomatoes go by many different names, cherry, grape, salad, tommy-toe tomatoes and so forth. Whatever you call them, try roasting them whole instead of just tossing on a green salad.
Toss a pint of small tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a single layer on a baking pan and roast in a 425 degree oven for 5-7 minutes until the tomato skins begin to spilt. Sprinkle with your favorite fresh herbs and serve warm as a delicious, healthy and easy side dish.
Fresh Garden Tomato Salsa
Tomato salsa is a quick and easy recipe to make, and the fresh garden tomatoes make all the difference in the flavor.
Chop 5 fresh garden tomatoes. Add � cup chopped red onion and � cup chopped fennel.
Add I tablespoon each of fresh, chopped basil, cilantro and seeded jalapeno pepper.
Mix in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Add a little orange zest, salt and pepper to taste. Combine the ingredients and serve with your favorite salsa chips.
Garden Tomato Peeling Made Easy
If you want to peel the garden tomatoes before trying these or any other tomato recipes, here's an easy and quick tomato peeling method.
Make a small X in the bottom of each tomato with a sharp knife. Immerse the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately place the tomato in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Use a small paring knife and start at one corner of the X and pull the tomato off in four sections.
The flavor of a fresh garden tomato can not be improved upon, but by varying the tomato recipe or serving method will keep the red, ripe garden vegetable from becoming boring.

New Honey Product available from our farm made by our bees!
Everyone is talking about our new honey at the markets and i have tried it myself and it is amazing!! We also have an 8 oz round container available for the same price.
This honey, a sample of nature's purest and most sweet food, has not been altered in any way, having been distilled from nectar and put in its container by the bees themselves. Use it on biscuits, muffins, toast, cereals, fruit, sandwiches~or just eat plain, as a wholesome candy. The delicate wax may be eaten too, or chewed like gum.
Although we will not have our bottled "Sweet Georgia Gold" available until the middle of July, we have a unique product from our honey bees. We have half combs of honey available using the Hogg method. They are specially priced at $13.95, other sites have them priced at $19.95. You will get 8 oz round or 12 oz square of honey with an edible comb. This honey is totally untouched by human hands.
Order yours today while supplies last. Please specify round or square.
Mr. John A. Hogg is the inventor of Half Comb Cassettes.
"The Halfcomb cassette is prefabricated in one piece clear plastic with comb foundation embossed on the bottom. The foundation is beeswax coated. The box-like cassettes are designed to function as modules in modified standard 4 3/4" comb honey supers; they interlock "piggyback", leaving bee access slots, to form columns of 10 each."
We now can process credit cards for your purchases using the Square!
As always Thanks for your continued support with our CSA program here at TaylOrganic Farm.
As a reminder, please send any skips,orders or special request to [email protected] by Saturday evening before the requested date. We will send a response on Monday afternoon to let you know we received your request!!
We only have two kittens~one solid white and the other white with a stripe tail and gold ears and two puppies if you would like to adopt a new pet.
