Tomatoes at National Heirloom Expo

[Fred Hempel]

This year tomatoes will be prominently featured at the National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa.

I will be leading a roundtable discussion on Tomato Breeding Tuesday at 3PM.

The Sunday following the Expo (September 16), we will host a 6-hour, in-depth, hands-on breeding workshop at our farm in Sunol. Our farm showcases both past and present breeding projects. Please PM me for more info, if interested.

We have a number of new tomato varieties growing this year, including the out-of-the-box Green Bee.

Here is what they have to say about Green Bee at The Chef's Garden.

Sounds wonderful Fred, would like be there but not possible.
Any chance of videoing something like that? Or live steaming/ podcast some such thing in future?
Best wishes for an awesome expo

Sounds great!



+1 on the video suggestion, if at all possible, for those of us who can't make it.

I am afraid there will be no video. The Heirloom Festival event will be a free-flowing small-group discussion.

I will, however, summarize the main points of our discussion here.
