June 2012:
On Saturday June 14th the Capay Valley will host the Annual Tomato Festival near Sacramento, California and nearr the casmpus of the University of California at Davis.
Capay Tomato is an heirloom tomato presented by Farm Fresh To You which provides home delivered farm fresh fruits and vegetables direct from their Capay Valley farm and other nearby farms.
It’s not just a treat to get vegetables and fruits just off the farm, it’s gotten to be almost a necessity. Who doesn’t want organic fresh produce picked that day? Who doesn’t visit their local farmers markets for that reason?
The Capay Tomato Festival “starts at 5pm, but camping guests can check in at 4pm. Activities, such as farm tours, trailer rides and art activities will be going from 5pm-6pm. At 6pm, the tomato tasting will take place. Live bands will play from 7pm-11pm. Guests can bring picnics. Farm-fresh tacos and popsicles will be available”
