The tomato lineup is filling out, most varieties now with ripe fruit. Try a mix and match combination for an interesting table display like this.
Last week we showcased the Gold Medal variety, this week it’s Kellogg’s Breakfast.
Tomato Kellogg’s Breakfast tomatoes are very large, beefsteak-type tomatoes that often reach 1-2 pounds in weight. The fruits have a bright orange peel and oblate flattened shape. The taste is nicely balanced between sweet and tangy. The large fruits ripen late season. is known for its sweet flavor that tends to be well-balanced with a tangy acidic taste. Often considered one of the best-tasting tomatoes, these rich tomatoes have a smooth texture, making them perfect for enjoying fresh; very good for enjoying fresh on sandwiches or cubed in salads. They add a bright orange color to bruschetta and to chopped salsa. Kellogg’s Breakfast Tomato is an heirloom tomato variety that potentially originated in West Virginia and discovered by Darrell Kellogg of Michigan (hence the name). It is not a modern-bred cultivar or hybrid.
Cukes for pickling now available, in 6L baskets. If you want more pls let us know a week in advance.

Adam ElSioufi offers his greetings to the Old 99 Farm community.
My name is Adam El Sioufi but you can call me farmer Adam if you’d like.
I have been working with Ian since the end of May, and am grateful for the opportunity to help steward the land and care for the animals here. I have met some of you and look forward to meeting the rest of you and sharing a friendly hello if we get the chance.
I have been growing food for close to a decade, having established and maintained several edible gardens for when I lived in Toronto, and I have been farming for over 3 years now.
I have set out on a path of deeper connection with the soil and nourishing food which led me to start my own Community Supported Agriculture project. I feel passionate about this journey and strive to connect more people to their food and share this experience with the greater community. In 2020 I started up a Equilibrium Acres CSA on leased land, after 2 years I started looking for a place to farm longer term and was fortunate to meet Ian at the Guelph Organic Conference where we spoke and exchanged contacts. We reconnected a few months later and discussed the possibility of collaborating and I am excited for what the future has in store.
Hope to see you soon on the farm,
Adam
Healthy eating,
Ian, Cami and Adam
