Tasty tomatoes year-round? This week on The Farm Report, Erin Fairbanks is joined in the studio by Lucky Lee of Luckys Real Tomatoes. Tune in to hear Lucky talk about her familys history in the tomato business. What makes Luckys tomatoes stand out? Find out why restaurant groups like the Union Square Hospitality Group prefer Luckys. Luckys has been ahead of the curve in the areas of traceability and quality for decades! Listen in to hear Erin and Lucky talk about the local food movement, and how it sometimes falls short for the needs of chefs. How did Hurricane Sandy affect Luckys farms? Find out on this weeks installment of The Farm Report! Thanks to our sponsor, Hearst Ranch. What makes our company different- and our tomatoes different- is that they are all from the United States, theyre all grown in the ground, and they arent picked until they are almost ripe. [3:50] Whenever you start fooling around inside of a tomato, you take away part of the reason why you might want to eat it. [10:50] -- Lucky Lee on The Farm Report
