Dirty Girl Farms sells the tastiest strawberries at the Santa Cruz farmers markets (both the Wed. and the Sat. one). I found out today why that is: the are Seascape strawberries, apparently a slightly different species than the strawberries usually found in the grocery store and grown as the strawberry monoculture that dominates parts of California. Seascape strawberries are smaller and they are both tarter and sweeter. So delicious! I recommend seeking them out.

I also got the first heirloom tomato of the season. It is golden yellow, nobbly, and hopefully the taste of it will remind me why I've avoided most of the ordinary tomatoes available ion the off season.

Hurray for early summer when eating seasonally!

What I want to know is do they have a label/logo as good as their name?

Probably not along the vein that you're thinking of. They have a homey looking girl I think in pigtails on their sign.

That's fine. I wasn't expecting porn. It IS a great name though.
