Village Farms Sinfully Sweet Campari

Unintentionally trying the entire village farm here. These are good. I am so tired but I still enjoyed them. Big, Sweet, Round tomato. Good. Not sinful per se but whatever, branding is as branding does.

village farms cherry no. 9 "fall in love again"

This branding is cracking me up. I feel like everything's cracking me up lately, which is nice. I've ascended beyond anger (in small bursts of laughter). Seriously though, did tomatoes need the marketing treatment? I was buying them anyway! But this is cute. I usually don't like cherry tomatoes best, but these were very plump and juicy, so I guess I fell in love for the first time. Kinda big for your everyday small tomato functions (noodle), but we made it work. Also, their website says: "the nutrients in these cherry tomatoes, like riboflavin and carotenoids, help reduce migraines and boost the immune system", which I am certainly in the target audience for. Heal me, sexy lady tomatoes! (I assume the name is a takeoff of Chanel no. 9, but it just makes me think of the DC gay bar ("Number 9") instead.)

village farms - maverick mix tomatoes

I could have sworn I reviewed these already, but nope, that was Wild Wonders! I tell you what, the US tomato landscape has really evolved over the last 20 years. When I was a kiddo we were lucky to have cherry tomatoes (red), and now there's like 5 sizes in 5 colors. Very good. Gotta take the wins where you can, I guess. Anyway, this is a good mix, despite (or in addition to?) the absurd name. These were mostly grape tomatoes, and small ones, but they were all very fresh, and there really was a good mix of purple, yellow, red, and shades thereof. Good flavor, lots of tomatoes per package, and generally a fun product that I probably would have gotten obsessed with instead of Jell-O as a teen if it were available to me.

Village Farms Lip Smackn' Grape[tomatoe]s

Tomato branding sure has gotten trendy. This looks like Target packaging, which is now an insult (boo Target, all my homies hate Target). The product was good. Grape is my favorite tomato subtype, and although there was no smackn' [insane typography] to speak of, these were in much better shape (redness and unwrinkledness-wise) than other tomatoes have been. Didn't have to toss a single one. Juicy.

village farms heavenly villagio marzano tomatoes

If people aren't giving you grace, you gotta give yourself grace. I am trying to do that right now, by reviewing these tomatoes instead of (metaphorically?) killing myself to do Tasks. Is reviewing tomatoes not a task, you ask? It isn't. It's like a meditation. So too is eating tomatoes. Move over, raisin meditation. This is a cool bag, and the contents are also cool. The tomatoes are long and wrinkly. Not roma, but (san) marzano, which is a type of tomato I was not even aware was a type of tomato until now. Pointier and less juicy, I guess. But in a good way. They lasted a long time without molding. I don't know what else you could expect from a tomato.
