Hotchkiss Alberta-Grown Heirloom Tomatoes!

A co-worker and I had a discussion today about Hotchkiss-- we forget, as produce nerds, that not everyone knows what "Hotchkiss" means in Calgary. She was snooping in someone's fridge, and found a little bag of greens, and exclaimed, "Is that Hotchkiss?" (I can just picture the retort, "No, it's Arugula!").

So, if you don't know about Hotchkiss, you need to! Hotchkiss is the most local produce we get here in Calgary, short of growing it in our own gardens. Plus, a lot of their farm is indoors, which means it's gracing our shelves year-round! Arriving on our doorstep, the day after it's picked is chard, arugula, potted herbs, romaine lettuce, spinach, sundried tomatoes, pea shoots, beans, broccoli, purple cauliflower, carrots, green onions, and ridiculously beautiful heirloom tomatoes!

Hotchkiss, to us produce nerds, is synonymous with quality: the best of the best.
