Did you know...
...that many a day one might find heirloom tomatoes sitting on their desk waiting for them to arrive at work? While the tomatoes don't look like ones you find in the grocery, they have a heavenly taste! Heirlooms are a variety passed down through several generations of a family because of it's valued characteristics. Thanks to our MPC members with the green thumbs!
