Mid-Atlantic Tomato Tasting/Festival

Cecilia_MD7a · March 2, 2006

It's all just a dream at this point, but some of us on the Mid-Atlantic Gardening and Growing Tomatoes forums on that OTHER site (a few of whom are also Tomatovillians) have been tossing around the idea of organizing something similar to CHOPTAG, Tomatopalooza, or any of the other regional tomato fests for our area. Such an event would probably have to take place in August or thereabouts in order to take advantage of the harvest.

I thought perhaps we could have a tomato-tasting to determine the most delicious tomatoes (perhaps different categories - heirloom/OP and hybrid), maybe a largest tomato contest, and also feature dishes made with homegrown tomatoes.

I even have a name for it - MAGTAG - Mid Atlantic Gardeners Tomato Appreciation Gathering (or Group).

Of course, I'm just testing the waters right now to gauge the level of interest ... any comments?
