Livingston's Golden Queen tomato is a pale yellow medium-sized fruit that develops a pink blush on the bottom when ripe. After years of testing, A.W. Livingston introduced the tomato and in 1882 gave it its current name to promote wider circulation, calling it the best flavored tomato in existence. The Golden Queen has a light, fruity aroma and a thin skin. It is meaty with a nice acidity, leaving a little sting on the tip of the tongue and a long lingering finish. It slices very well. This tomato incorporates all the pleasures of a red tomato with a lovely golden color.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Laura Benson, proprietress of BlueStar Acres Farm and 3rd party CSA service. I'm a responsible adult (49) & mother of 5. I ( and my Granny before me) have been doing the "Large extended family" equivalent (over 50 members average- Benson- Kennedy- Hammond- Jamison- Vaughn- Leblanc- LeBouef- Boren- Duncan- Cortez- Poole- We're ALL related! LOL) to a CSA for quite some time now, but I have never had a farm stand or sold at local farmers' markets.

Catalpa Ridge Farm started many years ago when Susan & Richard Sisti purchased the land in 1984 and over a period of 10 years developed this land it into a small farm. Over the most recent years the farm has been developing along with the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) movement. We are a Community Supported Farm (CSF) and our harvests go directly to the CSF members. The development of the farm is seen by the building of four greenhouses for season extension and spring transplant sales.
