We live in a state that ranks 13th overall in tomato production. Many of us, with small vegetable gardens, are growing tomatoes and farm stands abound on the back roads of the county, all selling home-grown tomatoes. How did I get into this one? It is about 20 miles—but a 40 minute drive—mostly off the beaten path from Route What fascinated me and got me interested in making the trip was that—on the PBS program—they raved about the taste of the Washington Boro tomato and that the heirloom varieties no longer grown commercially were available there and although they did not look great, the taste was terrific. First, in the early to midth century, Washington Boro, with the right limestone soil, weather and proximity to the Susquehanna River, turned out to be ideal for growing tomatoes with a wonderful, juicy texture and sweet taste. One of the varieties of choice was a Jet Star. The problem, according to Tyler Rohrer who manages the operation now, is that the tomatoes did not always look like what, now, we have been accustomed to in the supermarket. Also, they were soft when fully ripe and did not travel well so they could not be used in produce auctions or sold wholesale where they would have to travel any great distance. So, I am shaking my head, when I tell you that the agriculture wizards in the US developed a tomato that was large, had firm skin, looked beautiful, traveled well, stayed fresh for days or weeks and it became what everyone grew.
