What varieties do you grow and how do you market them? Tomatoes, that is.

This year I have over 50 varieties in that I am trialing. It's a real pain having so many due to growth habits and sizing but my customers really enjoy the fact that I have so many different types for them to choose from.

A little over half are sold at a local farmers market and the rest to a privately owned store and 2 small restaurants(same owner) I used to sell to over 20 stores and restaurants in Portland and even up to Seattle at one point with some being shipped to Alaska but have downsized quite a bit over the last 10 years, got my organic certification and now run the entire business myself. A lot less headache with no employees and not having to deal with all the shipping logistics.
