Pine Island —Rogowski Farm’s Third Annual Heirloom Tomato Festival will take place on Sunday, Aug. 19, from noon to 5 p.m., on the Rogowski Farm, 327 Glenwood Rd., Pine Island, N.Y. Entertainment will be provided by the Lamberts, Pinecone Fletcher and Fetish Lane. There will be food and produce vendors, games for the kids and, of course, tomato tasting. Heirloom tomatoes are tomatoes grown from old time seeds handed down through generations. Unlike modern genetically engineered tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes are known for their taste, unusual looks and textures. All produce is certified all natural and is grown with no herbicides or pesticides. The event will be held rain or shine. Adults $10, children under 12, $5, children under 3, free.
