Double Brook FarmThis year, even with all the epic rain, tornado watches, flood watches, scorching heat with 150% humidity, beetles and other not-tomato-conducive variables Andrew and his team have managed a serious bounty. Our tomatoes are luscious, packed with taste and stored in every nook, cranny, bowl and basket available. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many of them on one parcel of land, let alone on my counter and in my fridge.

Double Brook FarmJust imagine the sauce you can make with sun-kissed plum tomatoes and the compliment-inspiring salads with the yellow tear drop cherries like ours below.

They are a great tomato for summer salad because they don’t get beat up when tossed with other vegetables. Can you believe this color?

Double Brook FarmNow that the fruit is hitting on all cylinders, it’s time to get creative – and time to put some up at their peak of freshness.

The puppies’ first day and night in the barn with the sheep. They will be paired with an older dog as soon as the cold weather breaks. For now they are cozy with the newborn lambs and the heat lamp. It’s a little bittersweet!
