What’s your favorite red August fruit? Do you prefer a large, sweet, dripping slice of watermelon on a hot day or a cool, flavorful heirloom tomato salad?

Both fruits were celebrated at separate festivals on the North Fork this weekend. Garden of Eve Organic Farm and Market in Riverhead hosted tomato tastings, a salsa making bar, tomato workshops while several miles east melon lovers at Harbes Family Farm feted the watermelon.

See photos from the festivities below.
