Fresh Tomatoes Are Back in Evansville Markets This Season

Where to Find Fresh, Local Tomatoes Around Evansville

If you’re anything like me, there’s just something about a fresh, locally grown tomato that hits different. And now that we’re getting into the season, you might be wondering where can I actually find the good ones around Evansville? This year is a little different too because the prices of tomatoes have gone up, so let's talk about some local options that might work out for you.

Your Go-To Spots for Local Flavor

If you’re on the hunt for fresh, in-season tomatoes, a few local spots are known for doing it right.

You can check out Mayse Farm Market, Bud's Farm Market, and Helms Greenhouse. These are the kinds of places where those tomatoes are coming straight from nearby fields and not a truck halfway across the country.

A Few More Local Favorites to Try

If you want to mix it up and not get your tomatoes just from a Walmart or Aldi, or maybe you just want to explore a little more, there are some other great spots in the area too.

This is my favorite part about the summer, the farmers markets. Places like The Produce Patch, Goebel Farms, and Local Source also offer fresh, local produce when it’s in season.

So you’ve got plenty of chances to grab something fresh and whether you’re making a BLT, a salad, or just slicing one up with a little salt.

Why Local Just Tastes Better

There’s just no comparison. I'm really not a tomato girl but I realized it is a key ingredient for several dishes and they usually end up on my grocery list. The thing with local tomatoes is that they are actually picked when they’re ripe, and not too early so they can survive a long trip. That means better flavor, better texture, and a much better result.

Get ‘Em While You Can

Just remember tomatoes are seasonal, so availability can change pretty quickly depending on the weather and timing.

But when they’re ready? That’s your sign to grab a few and enjoy one of the best parts of the season right here in the Tri-State.
