Growing Tomatoes Outdoors: Tips & Techniques at Fat Peach Farm with Seacoast Eat Local

Join Seacoast Eat Local on Saturday, August 2nd from 10:00–11:30 AM at Fat Peach Farm for a hands-on workshop led by farmer Jennifer Wilhelm focused on successfully growing tomatoes outdoors. You’ll get an inside look at Fat Peach Farm’s small-scale, mixed production system, which uses organic practices and a no-till, permanent raised bed approach. Jennifer will guide attendees through the unique challenges of outdoor tomato growing and explain why many commercial growers turn to greenhouses and high tunnels instead.

You’ll learn:

• Which tomato varieties to choose for your garden.
• Techniques for trellising, pruning, and supporting healthy growth.
• Tips for managing soil health, pests, and common diseases.
• To wrap things up, enjoy a guided taste test featuring several tomato varieties growing on the farm. You'll be able to see (and taste!) the difference variety and method can make. Whether you’re a backyard grower or a small-scale farmer, you'll learn something new at this workshop!
