At Urban Futures Farm, tomatoes are the stars of the show. 🍅 They are just coming on now and we’ve got a few special ways we enjoy them.

For slicers, there is nothing more decadently satisfying than a thick slab of a tomato open-faced on a toasted cheese bagel with cream cheese. Can’t do it with anything other than a home grown tomato and it’s a treat we look forward to all year.

For cherries, nothing can beat the ease of what we call Tik Tok Pasta (though no one has an account – promise). Feta cheese and cherry tomatoes baked to jammy goodness then folded into hot pasta is so hands off, it’s practically fast food! On the menu for this week, matter of fact!

Also for cherries, we test-drove a new recipe for the hospitality room for musicians at FarmFest: whipped feta and cottage cheese pulsed with salt and pepper and topped with chopped cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper. The Facebook video is lacking in amounts, so play around until the proportions seem right.

What’s your favorite way with tomatoes?
