We’re not sure what you have planned for Sunday, June 7, but whatever is on your calendar … you should probably cancel it. Right now!
That’s because the annual Red Hills Small Farm Alliance Tomato Feastival — spelled “Feast-ival” not Festival, just be clear — is going down from 1-5 p.m.this Sunday at Goodwood Museum and Gardens. And it is it just what it sounds like: A FEAST of this year’s local tomato crop.
But over the years, this event has grown into so, SO much more.
Not only are there copious amounts of tomato items being sold — from farm fresh tomatoes (red and green), to tomato sandwiches, to tomato pie and even tomato drinks — but local farms that sell other items have also been added to the fold.
Of course, this is a craft beer column, so we’re here to talk — mostly — about the local breweries that are involved in 2026, which marks 4 straight years that craft beer has been a component after the organizers reached out to the TLHBS a few years ago and asked for help taking the event to the next-lvel. After all, it’s pretty nice to stroll around Goodwood, shop for produce, visit vendors, eat fresh farm-to-table grub and drink a local cold beer all at once.
And this year, we’ve helped set another record with the amount of breweries that are pouring with TEN!
Meet the brewers
On Sunday, look for:
Beverage details
That’s a great lineup. But there’s a few things to note, including:
Deep Brewery & Kitchen has been teasing all week that they’re bringing some type of “tomato beer” to the event, so we reached out to ask for deets. And here’s what we found out: They’re making MICHELADAS this year! And for those who aren’t familiar with what a Michelada is, it’s a 50/50 combo of a light beer and Bloody Mary mix — and they’re 1,000% delicious. We’ve had Deep’s Michelada before in the tasting room during Brunch, and it’s pretty phenomanal — so we are really looking forward to that!
Hammerhead and Pass My Cup — two award-winning homebrewer outfits — are both participating for the first time. Hammerhead, which is known for its ciders, will be pouring both beer AND ciders on Sunday, while Pass My Cup – which was named the Best Beer and Best Homebrewer at the recent St. Marks Brewfest, will be pouring their signature Kiwi Apple cider (“Bay Bay Yoda”) for guests. They’re also bringing “Dragon Slayer” Dragon Fruit-Guava-Mango Cider, a Tepache-infused Cider (fermented pineapple hard cider) and a non-alcoholic kombucha.
Also coming for the first time is Burned Beard Brewing, a new brewery that just opened in Quincy that we wrote about a couple of months ago. This is only the second event they have ever poured in – the first was Cleaver & Cork in March – and we are pumped to taste their beers.
Oyster City is, for the second year in a row, bringing a Bloody Mary Sour that will have notes of tomato, lime, salt, and horseradish. We enjoyed LOTS of pours of this beer last year when they debuted it, and we implore y’all to try it Sunday if you go.
The brewery configuration is changing this year and now the breweries are going to be mixed IN with the merch, farm and food vendors. The organizers felt like the beer was too sectioned off from the rest of the event in previous years — and we would agree — so the move to intersperse them among the festival was made. Now, you can walk, sample, shop, try different breweries — rinse and repeat!
Meet the vendors
The list of vendors participating include:
And it’s that last one – Sienna Lee – that we want to give a little extra mention to. We wrote about them last week and their 2026 season opening — which saw a HUGE turnout of nearly 2,000 guests – and this week they’re bringing their fresh, farm-raised organic blueberries, blueberry drinks, blueberry ice cream and blueberry desserts to their booth this year.
And they’ll be positioned right next to Deep, who they are about to collaborate with on a series of blueberry dishes, drinks and beers soon.
Love to see it!
