Can you grow your own there? Tomatoes are almost foolproof. The only
real tricks involved are to stake them so the fruit does not sit on the
ground and rot, and to get only a couple plants each of different types
of tomatoes. Different types of tomatoes have different characteristics
and ripen at different times. That will give you a crop over a longer
period of time rather than having a sudden deluge of tomatoes.
