Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅
Organic gardening 🥕🌶
& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

Winter or Storage tomatoes... what's that? These Winter or Storage tomatoes... what's that? 

These beauties are Italian heirlooms... Piennolo Giallo, Piennolo Rosso, and Annarita. Piennolo means "hanging" in Neapolitan dialect, and in Naples, you'll find bunches of these tomatoes hanging in everyone's kitchen. 

They're sweet right off the vine, but their flavors intensify as they hang... And they'll store for three months or more. 

Yes, you can enjoy fresh, sweet tomatoes into late fall 🍂 🦃

Not a gimmick, these are true Italian heirlooms from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. 

Put them on your Coop plant list for next year! 🍅
