The Carrboro Farmers’ Market will hold its annual tomato tasting on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. at the Carrboro Town Commons.

Participants will be able to sample more than 60 types of tomatoes, from conventional to heirloom varieties, all grown within a 50-mile radius of the market. In addition, master gardeners will offer tomato-growing tips and tomato recipes will be available.

After sampling tomatoes, participants will be able to vote for their favorite varieties, and the winners will be announced next week.
