We’re starting to harvest the first heirloom tomatoes from our “Spoongarden!” Every year we grow 2-3 dozen varieties to serve our guests (and eat ourselves). There’s nothing finer than a fresh tomato! Pictured: Green Zebra, New Big Dwarf, Sunrise Bumblebee, Gold Rush, and a mystery plant (maybe Cherokee Purple).

We just catered an amazing and fun wedding with a 6-course dinner and seafood bar. From the bride: "You and your team were INCREDIBLE. In every way possible. The food was to die for. The kind faces and impeccable service did not go unnoticed. It felt like we were dining at the best restaurant in the world. You made our wedding so special and we will always be so grateful to you for that. Thank you again x1000!"

The Runaway Spoon garden is really producing! Right now we're harvesting 17 of the 24 heirloom tomato varieties that we're growing this year, and the bigger tomatoes are just starting to ripen. There are few things as delicious as a fresh tomato, and the variety of flavors and textures is amazing. Coming to an event near you!
