Maybe put up a sign saying "These are VINE RIPENED, not GASSED!"
All my local grocers have lovely looking red tomatoes that, when you get them home and slice into them, are of the hard, green, gassed-to-bring-out-the-red variety. Even some of them in the organic sections - gassing is organic?
So I understand the reason for squeezing...although I do not squeeze, I palpate ;-)
This year I'm growing my own, but if I happen into a farmer's market, I promise I won't squeeze if you promise they're not gassed!
