My how they’ve grown! Our produce specialists just took another trip to Terra Firma Farm in Winters to follow up on their heirloom tomatoes’ progress after being transplanted. Paul with Terra Firma is excited about their progress and we’re thrilled to see the tomatoes doing so well! We look forward to carrying Terra Firma’s incredibly juicy heirloom tomatoes this season!

You know spring has sprung when these beauties start popping up. Set your table with love – perfect love that is. Tulips signify “perfect love”, and each color expresses a unique meaning. Yellow tulips symbolize cheerful thoughts, white expresses forgiveness, purple represents royalty, and red says, “Believe me.”
Tip: Re-cut the stems of your tulips when you get them home to keep them fresh longer. Cut the stems diagonally, removing about one-half inch. Tulips continue growing after being cut, up to an inch, and will conform to the shape of the container, so keep this in mind when choosing your vase.
Dyeing eggs is a fun way to celebrate Easter with the whole family. If you like all the colors but not all the chemicals, try making your own dyes using everyday foods from your pantry! Not only do these dyes create unique and vibrant colors, they’re also completely natural.

People ask me this question all the time: Which one is a sweet potato, which is a yam, and which one do I want? The answer, however, is not particularly simple. In American grocery stores, you typically find both “yams” and “sweet potatoes.” However, despite the labels, most of the time both are really sweet potatoes. The real “true yam,” popular in the Caribbean, is rarely seen in the US.
