About us

What we know today as the tomato was first grown as a crop by the Aztec Indians. Spanish explorers brought the tomato back to Europe in the early 1500s.

In England and Germany, they were initially regarded as ornamental, but poisonous, a "wolf peach". This is because aristocrats experimented with the tomato, but it ended badly-not due to the fruit, but because it was eaten on pewter dishes. Apparently, acids in the tomato leached the highly toxic lead out of the pewter dishes, and caused illness and even death in many cases. The "common" folk, however, typically ate on wooden or stone dishes, and had no problem!

All that is to say, Wolf Peach is a place for all of us regular folks. A little uncommon, a little unexpected, a little special. A place for everyone and anyone to enjoy a good hearty meal.
