It's hunting season here in Robinson, Texas...the hunt for Cedar Springs Tomatoes, that is! The only other place we've eaten the most wonderful tomatoes, is last year when we went to Stanley, NY. These match their taste and color almost perfectly. None of that grocery store mealyness...or wax...uggg...nasty things.
My family use to live in Cedar Springs when I was little. My dad grew a big patch of them. Beautiful sandy loam...
Well, we found Robert's Farm...and we also found a Ms Patterson's (no photo) but she had very little to sell. Then we found (barely!!) a place that you'd never dream was a working produce farm!!

A lot of the produce stands around here are doing the honor system. I can't help wondering how many people just take the stuff without paying. Those tomatoes look good and so do those cookies.
That's some place that Sam and her future husband bought. Congratulations to them.
The cookies look really good! I would love to find a farm stand like the one you described!
You have been so smart and busy! Proud of you. This reminds of our mom always canning
I'm sure you realize by now I didn't get that gene. Well it makes one a little self conscious when your own mother gives you a cookbook "how to boil water"
I'm so happy 4 Sam and Everett, that's a beautiful piece of land they have now. Maybe they'll grow you some tomatoes. XOXO
These farm stands look so great to me! I love the honor system, though I know some people just can't follow it. That looks like a fine piece of property for Sam and Everett.
Oh! Yum! Yum! Yum! Now, I'm hungry!!! :)
And there is no beating fresh, home-grown tomatoes!!
I love fresh grown tomatoes- the grocery store ones are pretty tasteless. Your granddaughters little farm is nice. Congratulations to her and Everett. Blessings.
Wow! Just look at those wonderful tomatoes, Donna!! I used to can tomatoes with my late beloved hubby.
I love that idea of reusing the strawberry containers. Thank you for that tip, as that’s perfect. Your cookies look sooooo tasty!
Yum.
GIRL ... those cookies! Oh my word! Going to have to try those. LOVE Sam's and Everett's new place. Our fifth grand is due on 12/7. Going to be a big day in every way ... and SUCH a Merry Christmas! Your tomatoes look wonderful!!!! xoxo
