If you can't grow tomatoes in your own garden, then the next best thing is to buy them from the farmers market. Fresh tomatoes from your local market are so much more flavorful than the ones at the grocery store because suppliers often pick them before they're ready and let them ripen on the long journey to the store. Your local farmers market will likely have different varieties, too.
