What we sell at the market: Golden Blue Moon Farm specializes in organic Heirloom Tomatoes. We have the over 30 varieties of Heirloom tomatoes which covers the entire spectrum of size color and taste. Heirloom Tomatoes are old fashioned tomatoes that have been grown for generations. You can save the seeds and replant the next year. They are _*not** *_ hybrid tomatoes which are bred for long shelf life _*not*_ taste. Take a step back and experience the way tomatoes are used to taste. We have a large selection of American (especially West Virginia) and European Heirloom Tomatoes. Three of the varieties we grow and sell are local varieties. Family members in the area saved the seeds and gave them to Golden Blue Moon Farm to reestablish these wonderful tomatoes. All our plants are grown in house (literally) using organic seeds. The plants we sell are hardened off in 1 gallon pots and are at least 18" tall with fully developed root balls.
We will be at the market: We are at market during planting season selling a large variety of 1 gallon potted tomato plants. When tomatoes are ready (mother nature decides this) we sell our organic tomatoes. Red, green, yellow, striped, and black, what ever your taste, if you love tomatoes we have one to satisfy your palate. Visit us at the Morgantown Farmers Market and relive the tomato eating experience the way it should be.
Information about our farm/business: This is Golden Blue Moon's 4th year at the market. We have been growing Heirloom Tomatoes for over 7 years. Raised bed planting allows us to plant early. Golden Blue Moon is a small family farm in Morgantown, WV. Karen has been a teacher for 30 years and currently teaches 5th at Cheat Lake Middle School. Michael is a full time farmer and retired teacher and physiologist. We stumbled in to Heirloom Tomatoes accidentally. One summer we decided to find out what all the Heirloom fuss was about and started a few Brandywine and Rose plants. We never went back to Hybrid tomatoes. We compost and use organic methods. Our love of farming and the excellent supervision of our golden retrievers (Skye and Sadie) enables us to produce wonderful tasting tomatoes. All our tomatoes are taste tested by our Goldens.
