Beefsteak tomatoes are one of the largest varieties of tomatoes. Tomatoes, which are technically a fruit, are one of the local bounty’s many treasures.
Beefsteaks are great for slicing and sandwich making. This week our Geronimo Beefsteak tomatoes come from Tantré Farms in Chelsea, MI. The farm has been a certified organic farm since 1993. The goals at Tantré Farm are to produce fresh, healthy foods for the local community, provide quality of life for the farmer, and sustain economic viability for the farm with care and respect for nature’s diversity.
