Tuscan Melons – This super sweet Italian style melon is 30-40% sweeter than your average cantaloupe. A more traditional musk melon type, it has a complex and rich flavor with a super soft and juicy texture. Find the melons with the most “netting” on the outside and darkest green bands for the sweetest melon, or ask one of our amazing staff to help you pick the melon for you!

Organic Black Mission Figs – Figs are only in season for a few weeks each year, and are one of the oldest plants cultivated by humans for food. Black Mission figs have been planted in California since the 1700s, often at missions, which is where the variety gets its name. We love to eat them raw, or roast them to make jam, or place them halved on pizza, cut side up with a drizzle of balsamic and handful of arugula.

Local Organic Heirloom Tomatoes – It’s begun! The catch-all name “Heirloom Tomatoes” refers to the stunning mixes of tomatoes unique to each grower, that vary widely in size, shape, color and flavor. They’re most often antique varieties of tomatoes that have been passed down from generation to generation, and are all favorites chosen by farmers for flavor, yield, and appearance. Names like Brandywine, Green Zebra, Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter, Mr. Stripey, Garden Peach and Aunt Ruby’s German Green speak to their rich history and often mysterious origins. With hundreds of varieties available, the possibilities for easy and ‘Gram worthy summer salads are truly endless.
