How to Store Tomatoes

If your tomatoes smell fragrant and yield slightly when squeezed, they are ready to use. If not, store them for a few days at room temperature until they are ripe. Putting dry tomatoes in a brown paper bag may accelerate the ripening process, but a sun-free spot on your counter will work just as well. Except as a last ditch effort to keep tomatoes from spoiling, avoid refrigerating them --cold temperatures deplete their flavor & texture. Tomatoes may be dried for long-term storage, or they may be canned or frozen in sauces or salsas.
Radical Roots Farm is located on Creek Road (also known as Dorr Drive) in Rutland.  We are directly across the street from #531 Creek Road, Rutland Town, VT. Look for our sign in front of our farm stand.
