Spring is busting out all around me. Rain is coming over the next couple of days. Thanks to the weather spirit, it will be just enough to water the new seed beds.

Our happy farmers preparing for garlic planting.

Tomorrow, Saturday, August 27th: Come visit Bernier Farms at the Healdsburg Farmers Market or the Santa Rosa Original Farmers Market at the Luther Burbank Center. Amazing peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes! Come get 'em! Canning tomatoes will be available to purchase by the case at a discount.

Today, August 13th at both Santa Rosa Farmers Market at LBC and Healdsburg Farmers Market, Bernier we Farms has spectacular certified organic earlygirl/newgirl/ big beef tomatoes in 20-25# cases. They are the perfect canning, freezing, drying and eating fresh tomato. This is the peak season for them, they are available at $2/# which is wholesale price for tomatoes. We also have lots of other wonderful veggies including Tongue of Fire shelling beans , juicy sweet crane melons and more.

These colorful little tomato babies bring us tasty reminders of the hot July sun, which seems a distance away from this cool, rainy December weather. Our tomatoes sun-baked on wooden trays, causing their natural sugars to intensify and robust flavor to deepen. If sungold cherry tomatoes are the candy of summertime, these sun-dried tomatoes are winter's more decadent cousin. Perfect for pasta, rich quiches and savory tarts, or on top of toast with a spread of fresh farmers cheese. Find them at the Cloverdale and Santa Rosa market, and on the shelves of Shed Healdsburg.
