Tomato in the spotlight in St. Charles
The St. Charles Public Library will host “The Inciardi Tomato Story,” an event featuring award-winning organic gardener Vicki Nowicki, at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Huntley Community Room at the library, 1 S. Sixth Ave. in St. Charles.
The program will focus on the history behind the Inciardi tomato, also known as the Ellis Island tomato, through stories and photos.
Henry Inciardi was one of seven brothers from Sicily who immigrated to America in 1900 with their parents, library officials said. The family carried with them from Sicily their entire food supply in the form of seeds. Fearing that the seeds would be confiscated by the authorities at Ellis Island, they sewed them into the clothing of the family members.
The Inciardi family went from New York directly to Chicago and began growing this tomato every year, eventually passing it down to their son who also grew it every year, event organizers said.
For more information on the program, call 630-584-0076.
