Historic Garden Week in Orange
April 18-25, 2026

Summer is coming and that means tomatoes!
Be ready with the amazing recipes in "Tomatoes for the Table".
Unearthed from our mothers', grandmothers',
and our own recipe boxes, travel journals,
and oral histories comes a collection of recipes
putting tomatoes - that star of Virginia gardens -
​front and center.

​Our contributors have tested, tasted, edited,
and shared their favorites. From jams, chutneys,
and pickles to sauces, soups, salads, and sides.
You will find familiar and not so familiar recipes
to taste and enjoy. Over 100 recipes in this
beautifully illustrated cookbook.
For more information go to Dolley's Market.
Can't wait? Need it now? Tomatoes for the Table is sold locally in Gordonsville at The Laurie Holladay Shop 
​and Jackson & Co., and  in Barboursville at Exchange Cafe.
