Beefsteak Tomatoes, the titans of the tomato world, are celebrated for their impressive size, meaty texture, and bold, classic tomato flavor. Each fruit showcases a vibrant red skin and a succulent, juicy interior with a mass of seed-embedded compartments. These tomatoes are perfect for slicing due to their substantial heft and minimal seed-to-flesh ratio, making them a favorite for sandwiches, burgers, and fresh salads. When it comes to cooking, they hold up well under heat and can add substantial body to sauces and stews. Beefsteak Tomatoes are also nutritionally rewarding, offering a rich source of vitamins C and K, potassium, folate, and antioxidants.
Mitch Lawson's farm, located on the fertile flood plains of the Oostanuala River in Northwest Georgia, has been growing certified organic produce since 2004. Very few other Georgia farms have such a longstanding tenure of organic certification. The 30 acres under cultivation is a lot to manage, but Mitch and his team make it look easy! Growing from only 2 acres back in the mid 2000's, Rise 'N Shine now produces over 40 types of organic fruits and veggies each year.
