We have grown heirloom tomatoes for Farmers Market for some 20 years ~ and now, we have finally found time to develop a line of seeds from our selection of the very best tomatoes.
If you are new to gardening, or lost in a maze of tomato varieties, these selections will help take the guesswork out of planning your tomato garden. These are not just our personal favorites; they are the tomatoes our market customers rave about and return for, week after week!
So here are six of our favorite slicers and six salad tomatoes, in full spectrum color for nutritional balance!
THE SLICERS:
Black Krim
Crimson Cushion
Hillbilly (large yellow/pink)
Orange Russian: a beautiful bicolor, heart-shaped. Amy Goldman says: "The flavor is unparalleled . . . table quality is always sublime."
Oxheart
Zapotec: large, ribbed pink tomato, the ancestor to the Italian ribbed tomatoes.
THE SALAD TOMATOES:
Chocolate Cherry
Garden Peach
Green Grape
Red & Yellow Pear
Red Grape
Riesentraube
All seeds are 2009 crop, now ready for the 2010 season!
Each package will contain at least 20-25 seeds, so the multi-variety packages will include over 150 seeds. You may purchase the individual varieties, or the collections at a discount. We hope you will have as much fun and good eating from these tomatoes as we do!
Our yarns, nuts, and particularly our garden seeds, make perfect holiday gifts in synergy with our shared goals of environmental protection, sustainability, and food security.
Consider our wide range of heirloom vegetable, herb, and flower seeds as gifts or stocking stuffers this year ~ grow your own and promote genetic diversity!
