Tomato season isn’t quite over yet, but if you haven’t got your bon vivant BLT yet, you might want to hurry up.

🌱 the vegan version comes with smoky tempeh and a vegan red pepper mayo that we make from scratch
🥓 the classic version comes with 3 slices of bacon and non-vegan red pepper mayo
🍞 get it on gluten free bread if ya want

Just a little fun fact: you might get a classic red slicer tomato, a purple Cherokee, or a Valencia on your sandwich. We’re been growing our own tomatoes with seedlings from and , with some support tomatoes from when we didn’t have enough of our own ripe and ready to go. All the varieties we’ve been serving are delicious!

The closer to home they were grown, the better they taste.
