On Saturday, September 5th the York Farmers' Market will be celebrating Tomato Day! Customers are invited to participate in a tomato tasting at 10:00am, where they will be encouraged to vote for their favorite tomato varieties and the farms that grew them. Tomatoes will be provided by the market's farmers: Connolly's Organics, River Lily Farm, Riverside Farm, Top of the Hill Farm, Zach's Farm, Sandy Hill Farm, Cannons at Noon Family Sheep Farm and Martha's Garden. The tomato theme will continue throughout the day with prepared food vendors offering special treats and recipes with tomato ingredients! There will also be live entertainment from Easy River Music.
According to market manager, Steph Oeser, "Some of our farmers have their tomatoes in earlier in August, some don't get them in until September, so Labor Day weekend seemed like the perfect time to straddle their seasons and maximize participation. We haven't done an official tomato tasting in a few years. One of our vendors suggested that we do one and it sounded like a great idea. The vendors and I are all excited about hosting a tomato themed day!"
The market is proudly sponsored by one of our vendors, When Pigs Fly. It runs from 9:00am to 1:00pm every Saturday through Columbus Day weekend at the York Region Chamber of Commerce, 1 Stonewall Lane, York, ME.
