These are specially developed tomatoes. The research was done at the university of Fl. I love these and buy them at publix . I checked the website. . I noticed some variations in the tomato from publix. What I found was the ones grown buy red diamond farms are consistently better. I would recommend asking for the red diamond label. They are definitely the best of the growers. Jeff is right on . These are specially developed tomatoes. The research was done at the university of Fl. I love these and buy them at publix .

Wish I could have it as an Android app! I agree with Katje though ... if I search for a specific city I get a hit, but that almost requires prior knowledge of a market. Sometimes the closest market to one's neighborhood is in the next suburb. A person in Lombard may wish to know about the Villa Park French Market (Sunday), the Yorktown Mall Farmers Market (Wednesday), and the Downers Grove Farmers Market (Saturday). Searching by zip or by map would be very helpful. This is a great resource. Wish I could have it as an Android app!

I have no way to narrow down a large area. Is there any way to just feed the data into a map so I could just get a visual on which markets are closest? And yes, I know I could do this in Google Maps, but if you guys do it and post it, other people might benefit. Just an idea, thanks for rounding this info up in one place!
