Mr. 'Chubby', as he has been known all of his life, is somewhat of a tomato growing expert .... Mr. Chubby has customers that wait for his tomatoes to 'come ripe' and when he puts his signs out on the road near his driveway... they get the cash ready, pull up into his yard and honk their horn ... Mrs. Clemois or Mr. 'Chubby' stop the tomato sorting and the picking to wait on each customer with a big smile and a hearty welcome ....
"I produce between 8,000 and 10,000 pounds of tomatoes each year. I sell them all right here to my friends, customers and neighbors. Put up my signs when they ready and when they gone I just take them ole signs down till next year" said Mr. Chubby .... "folks been waiting for my tomatoes and they were a little late this year but they are coming on strong" ... I feed'em a little powdered milk 'cause they need calcium and I give them plenty water .... they grow, grow and grow just like a baby ..... just pick'em and sell'em ... I love growing stuff, especially my tomatoes .... Mr. Chubby added ...
