This morning I went out to Ridge Ripe Farms and picked some tomatoes. Paul and Corinne Eldridge have run the operation for the last several years. They begin the season with fresh strawberries, then in early June have fresh tomatoes. After a few weeks of offering picked tomatoes, they open the fields for folks to "pick-your-own".
There was an abundance of tomatoes. Once you begin picking, it is hard to resist the urge to taking just one more.
The Eldridges also had some fresh basil for the taking. I took some and when I got home I put on a pot of tomato basil soup. It turned out very well and along with some cheese toast and iced tea made a good lunch.
