Our Story

Time to get growing, cooking, painting and pageanting. The 12th annual EastMont Tomato Festival is Saturday, August 18, 2018, 10 AM to 3 PM, at The Meadowbrook Center in Shawsville, Va. For details on all the contests and events visit out webpage: http://www.mountainvalleycf.com/eastmont_tomato_festival.html#1 The free festival features contests for the tomato art and recipe, as well as competitions for Biggest, Ugliest and Best-Tasting tomato. You can also don your best tomato-themed outfit to compete in the ever-popular Tomato Pageant, and belly up to become the Tomato-Eating champion. In addition, the festival features: • Great food (fried green tomatoes, BLTs, pizzas, tomato sandwiches, tomato biscuits and more) • Live music by local bands • A magician and games • Arts, crafts and foods from regional artists and farmers • And of course the TomatOlympics, a series of tomato-themed challenges along our crazy obstacle course. (Just for the fun of it, kids get a chance to throw squishy tomatoes at the Human Tomato Target.) This year’s festival is being presented by Red Sun Farms, a leader in the true greenhouse vegetable industry, owning and operating farms in all three NAFTA countries: Canada, Mexico and the United States including nearby Dublin. The EastMont Tomato Festival is a program of Mountain Valley Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works to enhance the quality of life in eastern Montgomery County, Va.
