Cathy Thayer was in their veggie stand today - She said their garden is late and they have no tomatoes yet - But stop in and see what she has:

We are selling some of our extra produce through Marvin's Gardens, including Sungold tomatoes.  They are orange cherry tomatoes that have a very sweet flavor.  They do not ever turn red, so dont be put off by the orange/yellow color.  In the grocery store they are quite expensive, so they are a great bargain at the veggie stand.

We do not use any chemicals or poisons at all, so our veggies would qualify as organic.

I will have to try some of those - I have quite a few veggies that people have dropped off to me, so want to clean those up first, but then will give them a try.

Thanks Henry. :)  Actually, I noticed in the photo in the original post there is a small container of our tomatoes, with both Sungold and red cherry ones in it.

Glad you mentioned they don't turn red as I saw them, but didn't think they were ready yet - I did pick up 3 ripe early tomatoes at Gilles Rainvilles stand, but the good old large native tomatoes seem to be hard to come by this year.
