A major objective of Delectation of Tomatoes, etc. is to enhance physical health, contribute to the enjoyment of food, and encourage ecologically responsible and sustainable gardening practices by providing a wide variety of the healthiest, best tasting, and locally grown produce available. I use all natural and OMRI listed products (including humates, compost/worm castings tea, sea kelp, fish emulsion, biochar, etc.), amend soil with >70 trace minerals, and control pests with cultural practices and IPM principles.

As of January 2026, I carry seeds of over 3,000 varieties of tomatoes.  I also have many thousands of seeds of peppers, melons, beans, squash, eggplant, lettuce, etc. and lettuce.  But, since there has been almost zero demand for those seeds, I have quit growing them and no longer have them listed on the website.

Seedlings of some 70 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, and perhaps some other types, will be available from May until early June in the Price area. Availability in the Wasatch Front area is TBD - it's a 4-hour and $75 round trip.

This is a one-person, home-based operation, so best to email before dropping by for a visit.

I moved with Delectation of Tomatoes to East Carbon, Utah in January, 2020. The elevation here is 6,200', the growing season is very short, this place has never had a garden, and there is no greenhouse or high tunnel. Regrettably, I no longer have the time to offer fresh produce.  Demand for everything I produce has been extremely low in this poverty-stricken town, so I am focusing almost exclusively on offering tomato seeds now, as growers from all over the world can help support that endeavor.

Schedule and Location:
I am willing to trade some of the excess produce for help with harvesting for seed production during the harvest months, which are late August until frost here.
