history of the event
We held the first Tomato Festival many years ago to highlight our beloved heirloom tomatoes that we are extremely dedicating to growing and sharing with our community. After a few years of not hosting a Tomato Fest, we decided to revive this annual event in 2022 after COVID-19 shook up the world. In the wake of the global pandemic, we felt it more necessary than ever to gather with our community to celebrate our connection to the land and people who make this farm possible. The event as it is came to be in 2023 when we decided to include music and art in addition to local vendors and our tradition of tomato tasting to find the fan favorite variety of the year.
charitable Future of the event
Last year in 2025, we decided to make this annual happening a charitable event! We’ve teamed up with the friendly folks at Amesbury Industrial Supply to raise money for three of our favorite local organizations: Our Neighbor’s Table, Love Bus, and the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. We will be raising money through raffle ticket sales, business sponsorships, donations upon entry, and leading up to the event using the link below. Please help us spread the word!
The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center seeks to empower individuals and engage local communities to end domestic violence. They provide survivor support services and educational programming to people of all ages and identities.
Lucy’s Love Bus provides free integrative therapies, complementary activities, and support for children with cancer, their caregivers, and families through various program offerings. Many programs operate out in the community but they also provide in-hospital services.
Our Neighbors Table seeks to alleviate food insecurity in the Lower Merrimack Valley by providing reliable, community-based access to food for all residents through pantry markets, community meals, home delivery, and more!
How can I get involved in this year’s tomato festival?
This event is all hands on deck for us, as we operate with a small crew and remain open on the day of. Over the last few years we’ve been lucky enough to have friends, family, and amazing volunteers to help to make it happen. Volunteers are critical to the event’s operations and this year we are looking for more folks to help out at Tomato Fest! There are all sorts of volunteer roles to be filled including parking attendant / traffic safety, selling raffle tickets, distributing tomato samples, helping with set up, break down, and more. Either email us with your interest in volunteering, stay tuned for the Volunteer Form to go live, and/or join us on Thursday June 18th at 4:30pm for our Volunteer Kick Off event at Our Neighbor’s Table in Salisbury! We’ll have marketing materials to pass out and will discuss day of logistics.
