With all the food insecurity lately, I’m taking 28lbs of tomatoes to my small town food bank.
Still have more on the vine that I am planning to donate. I'm hoping they can ripen these indoors and give out as needed. What have you donated from your overabundance?
I’m happy that people like you exist. The world needs more selfless folks. Thank you for being a kind human.

Firstly, thank you for donating to others!
Secondly, and just a friendly farmer note, tomatoes will typically only ripen indoors if the ethylene has started the process on the vine. This means there should be at least *some* blush on the tomato before picking. These look entirely hard and green, which can definitely still be used, but might be trickier for families unaccustomed to green tomatoes. I haven’t had positive experience with fully green tomatoes ripening indoors myself, but you never know.
Again, kudos for donating 💛
