A-maze-ing Farm Fun!
Visit the tomato maze, pick fresh produce, and learn about
hay bale gardening at Soul Food Farm.
Gardener and educator Sameer Tyagi invites the public to his Heirloom Tomato Maze, made with 370 hay bales, 200 heirloom tomato varieties, and 1,800 plants. Sample a selection of tomatoes, dig in for a gardening workshop, and pick fresh tomatoes, herbs, and veggies. Instead of soil, Tyagi uses partially decomposed hay bales to grow tomatoes, a technique that minimizes weeding, tilling, bending, and soil-borne disease. At the farm, gardening materials as well as local produce, eggs, and olive oil are available to purchase. Entrance cost: $5 per person (family discount available). Workshop cost: $20.
