Tomato Fight Comes Home to Roost

By , 11 December, 2008,

I never thought the same day I was raving about La Tomatina, the world’s biggest tomato fight that takes place in Spain, the front page of SF Gate would announce a fight with the country’s largest tomato processor.

Reading about “food that didn’t match the quality advertised on labels” reminds me of childhood ketchup urban legends. It also reinforces why knowing exactly who made the food you eat, and reducing the supply chain, is so much better than food processed in large factories.

For example, try June Taylor’s racketeering-free ketchup. Or try making your own!

Up to Her Ears in Tomatoes

To-ma-tohs that is.

If there’s one thing we all loved at the citron event it was June Taylor’s old fashioned tomato ketchup. Sweet, with a little bite.

Now at the end of tomato season, June gets her workout cooking down large vats of deep red, flavorful organic tomatoes into various canned delights.

(More soon on the event!)
