I get their tasty cherry tomatoes too and got these Veronas for the first time - juicy & sweet. Avoid the San Marzano - dry & gritty.

Everybody’s understandably obsessed with Harry’s Berries strawberries, but their tomatoes are pretty great, too. With the exception of the weirdly bad San Marzanos, I love their tomatoes. They used to make & sell a fantastic salsa - perfect balance of bright, fresh tomatoes, salt, acid, garlic, peppers, onion, cilantro - but they stopped, something about insurance cost of using cilantro. The food biz is a complicated PITA.

Did you make sauce with the San Marzanos?
That was the plan but they weren’t good. I tossed them.
When you’re not a huge fan of stone fruit but Mr. Weiser says eat this nectarine, you eat the nectarine. Of course he was right - not pretty but delicious, and I bought some.

Farm Shop at the Brentwood Country Mart has some nice produce from the farmers market, they even had some Andy’s Orchard a couple weeks ago. Don’t know if they specifically have Wong Farms but if you are just looking for great fruit it’s worth keeping in mind.

unfortunately a lot of these places don’t have em, I’ve called.
I really think you can almost certainly get them at LA Homefarm. They are about double–I grabbed a few on Monday. If you show up on Sunday, there will be some I reckon.
