SELLMEYER FARM NEWSLETTER

Here's another tomato recipe from Lane McConnell's blog for heirloom tomatoes. She's our Marketing & Local Foods Program Manager for Missouri Department of Agriculture. She was in charge of setting up the Farmers' Market at the Missouri State Fair and gave some of the cooking demonstrations during the fair. I hope everyone had a chance to go and visit the fair. We did not get to go this year as this past week was busy spent getting 3 kids off to colleges in different directions and at different times, but Lane and the crew at the Missouri Department of Agriculture do a lot of hard work to help us farmers and promote local produce! They make our jobs a little easier and have lots of programs and information to help us! Thanks Lane, Sarah, Tony and crew!!!!

Dress-Up Tomatoes
By Lane
3-4 different heirloom tomatoes, sliced
feta cheese, herb flavored
balsamic vinegar
basil leaves, chopped
kosher salt
On a tray, plate your tomato slices. Sprinkle with a little kosher salt, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh basil.
* This is a very easy way to add some zing to a simple plate of tomatoes.
