my love for these beauties...unreal.
my friend renee, owner of the wonderful boat street cafe in seattle, introduced me to "billy's tomatoes" and now, as most, i am hooked. the tomatoes are unlike any you will ever eat.
we also purchased flats of strawberries and made homemade jam.
fall rocks... and so does billy.

Hi Pam; Very sorry for my absence / :
I hope all is super in Seattle? Your photos are gorgeous; Billy's tomatoes are like a work of art. Makes me remember picking strawberries for a summer job outside of Granite Falls. Hard work & having to ride an old, hot bus out to the fields from Snohomish. Those good ole memories. Wishing you a lovely Sunday evening!! xo deb
Oh my goodness, the produce looks so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
When I was growing up my Granny would pick me up at 5:30 in the morning each Saturday to go to the local farmer's market. I am certain that i was the only child there, from what I can remember. I learned so much during those trips, and knew each person by name and produce. I to the day get up and go to the farmers market with my daughter (when she is not off at school) at the crack of dawn. Also, thank you so much for your nice comment!

We just had a wonderful lunch with out garden tomatoes and vegetables...a little olive oil, basi, balsamic vinegar and "fleur de sel", just a perfect combination.
Your photos are so beautiful! As for the food business...I owned a bakery in Boston for a few years and between temperamental french chefs, demanding clients....I am much happier in the furniture business, bu kept my sweet tooth
Those tomatoes look amazing, Pam. Hope you have a great week! xo

LOVE the market garden post. we've been selling at the farmer's market since mid july and LOVE it. actually we've brought a little French inspired style to our vendor spot and it's been a huge drawing to women who need a life beauty pause.
