The ha, ha, ha, happiest Hawaiian tomatoes are grown by Hamakua Springs Country Farms by Richard Ha and his family right here on the Big Island of Hawaii. I have been buying his delicious tomatoes at our local KTA supermarket for years.
Tender loving care and clean hydroponic (growing plants in water and fertilizer instead of soil) conditions make his tomatoes on the vine, beef tomatoes, cocktail tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes, simply the best and will make your tastebuds burst with happiness. Famous chef and restaurateur (this is the correct spelling) Alan Wong agrees and serves their produce in his fine restaurants.
If you are not fortunate enough to live in Hawaii or visit Hawaii to try his special tomatoes and other produce, try these award winning Hawaiian recipes with your favorite local brand of tomatoes: Hamakua Style Tomato Pie, Tomato Chutney or Crunchy Lomi Salmon.
Visit Hamakua Springs for the recipes and more information, and make sure you read their wonderful blog.
Those tomatoes look delicious. And we in Jersey know tomatoes!
