Black Rock Orchard is honored to be featured in Jose Andres and Matt Goulding's new book, Vegetables Unleashed!
Here's an excerpt from the book about Emily Zaas and Black Rock Orchard: "What makes Black Rock special, beyond the incredible quality of their fruit, is the depth of David and Emily's knowledge. You'd have a hard time finding anyone who knows more about anything than she knows about apples and pears." You can purchase a copy of the book at vegetablesunleashed.com.

"There's good news for tomato fans: you don't have to wait until August to sink your teeth into the juicy, flavor-packed fruit. Emily Zaas of Black Rock Orchard grows her heirloom tomatoes in three large greenhouses during the winter, so they are ready for spring markets.
Unlike hydroponic tomatoes (which are also available outside of the typical tomato season), Zaas grows her tomatoes in dirt, which makes them more flavorful. The early-season crop also helps keep her farm's workers employed year-round. (WTOP/Rachel Nania)"
