July 13, 2013, Saturday - Midwest Tomato Fest
Time: 2:00pm-7:00pm
Location: 395 Portland Avenue South
We understand that this event seems wasteful, but in fact it is resourceful. Here is how:
There are many farmers that grow tomatoes within the United States... After every season there are tomatoes that spoil, are inedible, and therefore cannot be sold or given away to be consumed. Naturally, inedible tomatoes = waste. We figure if these tomatoes cannot be marked for human consumption, we will collect the “waste” from farmers and throw a great event. This event intends to be an annual festival for Midwest states that will help contribute to local economies. In addition, we will donate part of the proceeds to fight hunger to dedicated organizations. In the past two years, we have donated to local organizations that fight hunger. Instead of the tomatoes actually ending up as waste, we are recycling the tomatoes. We would never destroy perfectly good tomatoes.
Thank you,
Midwest Tomato Fest
