Anyone know where the best place is to get a bushel of tomatoes? I'd like roma for canning. Thanks!

Let me know if you find some. I looked everywhere last year. Well everywhere in NB anyways.

Same here. I have canned and made salsas for the winter.

Last 2 years has been a bust.

Masstown? Graham, does the Cattail Ridge Farmers Market not offer any bulk pricing?

Not last year, but I think they do in a regular year. Blight hit this area hard last year.

Blight hit almost every area of the Maritimes last year. Too dry this year, tough to catch a break for farmers.

There was another table as well on the other side. I bought a bunch of seeds.

I bought and grew five varieties of heirlooms from Annapolis Seeds this year. So great to have this resource in NS!
