Hanover Tomatoes are in season! You know what that means… the Homemades by Suzanne bakery case will be full of fresh tomato selections. “As soon as our farmer suppliers deliver the first box of Hanover Tomatoes, we celebrate with a menu full of them,” exclaims Homemades by Suzanne founder and owner Suzanne Wolstenholme. “Soon after the first deliveries, we begin making Gazpacho. Slices of Hanover tomatoes go on our BLT's and Club Rolls. We stuff them with our chicken salad, shrimp salad, country ham salad, egg salad, and even angel hair pasta salad.”

One of the fastest-selling menu options is Homemades by Suzanne’s deep dish Hanover Tomato Pies. Hundreds of full size Hanover Tomato Pies are baked each season while mini pies are produced for the restaurant’s afternoon tea parties. Advanced orders are already being placed and can be baked in a gluten-free pie crust upon request. “The Hanover Tomato Deep Dish Pie sells out quickly, so ordering ahead is recommended,” encourages Suzanne.


So, what is the secret behind Homemades by Suzanne’s delicious Hanover Tomato bakes? Suzanne says all they need is the highest quality ingredients: Real butter, the finest quality mayonnaise. and of course, fresh grown Hanover Tomatoes. “Some say it is the sandy soil. I think God just likes Hanover best!”
