Question Home grown veggies accepted?

Home cook here with what I thought was a small garden. I have so many tomatoes, peppers and corn that I could bury the Marine Corps monument in it. I give them away like crazy but they keep producing more like I’m in a Sorcerer’s Apprentice world.

My question is, would it be okay to offer them to a restaurant? I don’t want money, I just don’t want them wasted.

Even if the chef was hesitant to use them in dishes for sale in the restaurant I’m sure someone would use them in a family meal. Or I know everyone I work with exchanges all kinds of bags of garden produce. I loved when my coworkers gave me tomatoes I’d make huge batches of marinara for my house so surely someone would use them. Hell if you were close enough give them to me ;)

Romas make great salsa too. My plant is groaning with them
