The Santiam Food Alliance and the Lebanon Downtown Farmers’ Market invite the public to admire, taste, and stock up on tomatoes at the market on Tomato Day, Thursday, August 23. Throughout the market hours of 2 to 6 p.m., Lisa Almarode of Fairweather Farm will give tastings of dozens of unusual and often beautiful tomato varieties from the market farmers and her own garden. An Oregon State University Extension Master Food Preserver will offer information on drying tomatoes and canning them—whole or in pieces, as pizza or spaghetti sauce, as ketchup, as juice, as salsa, and even as marmalade or preserves. A Master Gardener will provide advice on growing tomatoes, and volunteers will offer free samples of tomato gazpacho.
