Over 200 lbs of the finest local homegrown heirloom tomatoes just delivered by Kurlbaum’s Heirloom Tomatoes for tonight's "Sold Out" Heirloom Tomato Farm to Table Dinner at Jasper's Restaurant with over 175 guests and tomato aficionados. We are so fortunate to have such a great partnership with the Kurlbaum's. We can't wait to host the Tomato Sommelier himself Sky Kurlbaum and of course the Tomato Queen herself, Liz Kurlbaum.
