you can read about Florida tomato growing.
Then, if you have a farmers' market or co-op or your own garden, or

Darn you yet another book to read. Tomatoland.
Still I remember here in the garden state when the produce was picked by
hand a hard task done by people who would pick string beans for 25 cents
a basket. I know I did it one year. Got into painting the High School
rooms next summer.
Then something occurred as the tomatoes were planted in wider rows and
a machine took them all at one time. Gone were the pickers soon to be
followed by the truck farms replaced by homes and lawns.
Also gone were the folks looking for missed gems.
