Floyd --

Do you think you grow the best-tasting tomatoes anywhere? Put your ’maters to the test and bring them to the Floyd Farmers Market no later than 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 21, 2010 to be tasted by a panel of local tomato aficionados and by the public for prizes in SustainFloyd’s “Floyd Top Tomato” contest.
All are welcome to enter, whether you are a market or garden grower. However, all tomatoes must have been grown in Floyd.
The judges will begin tasting at 11 a.m. The Floyd Farmers Market is held every Saturday during the summer from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Floyd Community Market pavilion downtown across from the Floyd Country Store.
The first prize for the best-tasting tomato will be a locally-made wooden cutting board. The second prize will be a coupon to Dogtown Pizza in Floyd, and the third prize will be $10 in Floyd Farmers Market Bucks to be spent at the Floyd Community Market pavilion.
There will also be a prize for the biggest tomato by weight.
Prizes will also be given for the most unusual looking tomato (a tomato resembling Abraham Lincoln, for instance) or (same category) the tomato with the best story (unusual origin of the seed, perhaps).
