Come sample the many different varieties of tomatoes we are growing this year. From heirlooms to new hybrids. Vote for your favorites.

And join us for a potluck dinner and tour of the farm. If you have been wanting to come check out the farm here is the perfect chance. Come see Muddy Fingers Farm at the height of summer abundance (and weediness). It would be helpful if you could let us know if you plan to come. Bring a dish to share and plates and utensils (if you can).
