Mother's Love is easily one of the top ten tomatoes that I grew in 2017. This tomato has everything that you hope for in a good tomato. Fruits ripen in about 85 days and can be up to 1.5 pounds. Most are around the 1 pound mark. Mother's Love tomato reminds me of Dester, which to me is one of the better tomatoes that I have ever tasted. That's how good this tomato is. It is meaty, juicy, medium-firm, clean, sweet, and tons more. I just love slicing them for picture taking! Vines are around 6 feet tall and produce from early summer until frost snuffs the life out of them. Until then, they'll produce outstanding fruits that are perfect for sandwiches, sauces, salsas, eating off the vine, and anything you could possibly imagine. They are also one of my favorites for fried green tomatoes. You should not have a garden without these. -
Muddy Mamba tomato is a new one for us in 2017. We will be growing it again, in more quantities in 2018. Beautiful, bi-colored tomatoes, that are copper colored on the bottom end with greenish shoulders, will amaze you with its interior colors. Fruits can weigh 14 ounces on the high-end and perhaps 6 on the low-end, but size has no bearing on this tomato's taste. When sliced, from top to bottom, the most beautiful array of colors reveal themselves. Vines are about 6 feet tall and begin to ripen their fruits 85 to 90 days after transplant. Muddy Mamba tomato plants produce good amount of fruits. It is a full flavored, rich, and evenly textured resulting in a very pleasant experience. A perfect variety for slicing, sandwiches, and salsa. Awesome for garnishing! Think Caribbean carnival! See it on YouTube! -
Cherry Chunks is a spin-off of Sandy's Sweet Cherry. It is firm, meaty, and juicy, but not quite as intense as Sandy's Sweet. Tall vines produce huge crops of slightly elongated, pinkish tomatoes that are just a pleasure to eat in the garden. Kids love them. Fruits are firm, keep well, and have few seeds. Cherry Chunks is a perfect selection for jams, jellies, market sales, drying, and of course, fresh eating. Fruits will ripen in about 75 days after transplant. This one comes highly recommended by yours truly! We are the original U.S vendor. -

Northern Lights is a large sweet beefsteak that is marbled, with reds and yellows on the outside and in. Vines are tall and begin ripening fruits around the 80 day mark and all the way into frost. They can reach up to 1.5 pounds in size. Other than their obvious sweetness, this gem packs lots of fruitiness. These are perfect tomatoes for sandwiches, slicing, nice yellow sauce, and of course, eating fresh out of the garden. They definitely are great for market sales and garnishing. Seeds are packaged fresh for you! -
Orange Caprese tomatoes are a delicious sauce and paste tomato that was bred by my friend Fred Hempel of Artisans Seeds. Be careful when you bite into them or you will be splashed with delicious orange colored juice. Vines are about 5 feet tall and produce clusters of about 5 deep orange, 2 inch elongated fruits. 75 days to ripen, disease resistance good. Also good for drying and garnishing. -
Ponderosa Beefsteak Tomato
Ponderosa Beefsteak is a prolific producer of 6 to 10 ounce fruits that can be used for many things. Vines are about 4.5 to 5 feet tall and begin to ripen their fruits about 75 days after transplant. Once fruits begin coming on, there will be many pounds per plant. Please stake well and harvest in a timely manner so that other fruits can begin to ripen. Ponderosa Beefsteak is balanced, mildly sweet, juicy and delicious. It is a perfect tomato for sandwiches, salsa, slicing, and cooking. I suspect that it will also be a good tomato for drying and making tomato powder. An excellent choice for market vendors! -
Reisentraube tomato is another popular variety with serious tomato growers. Short vines produce huge bunches of deep red tomatoes that grow in clusters of up to ten and are among the first to ripen in any garden. Ours come in at around the 70 day mark. Tomatoes are juicy, sweet, with a little tartness, and softish. They are perfect for jams and jellies, eaten fresh out of the garden, and of course, for salads and cooking. Stake well and eat often! Can be grown in containers. -

Sevryuga is a little oxheart that maxes out at about 8 ounces. Skinny, wispy, leaf vines, produce what seems like millions of perfectly heart-shaped tomatoes that begin to ripen at around 80 days after transplant. Fruits grow in clusters of 5 or 6. I also like the hardiness of this variety. It does very well with diseases. Like most oxhearts the we grow, Sevryuga is a taste specialist. Its sweet meet and juicy flesh are perfect for tomato juice, cooking, sauces, and salsa. Early staking is a must. This tomato has taste appeal! -
Shimblenk tomato is one of the top 10 varieties that I grew in 2017. This beautiful beefsteak is certainly a site to behold. Sprawling vines produce really heavy crops of deep red tomatoes that can reach 1.2 pounds. When it comes to taste, Shimblenk is perfect! It's in the company of Pink Brandywine and Dester, which are two fantastic varieties. I hold this tomato in high esteem. meaty, sweet, juicy , rich and well balanced are all descriptive of this awesome variety. Perfect sandwich tomato! Great for market vendors! -
Shuntuk Giant Tomato
Shuntuk Giant tomato is very deserving of it's name. Everything about this variety is gigantic. It has always been the biggest plants on the farm. Some of ours have averaged 9 -10 feet tall and much wider than the average plant. Shuntuk Giant tomatoes are deep red and weigh between 16 and 32 ounces. So it totally makes sense why vines are that thick! -
Think Black Krim but more balanced. Southern Night tomato is a very good black that I especially like right off of the vine. I also loved the kind of salsa that it made. To me, this fruit is earthy and smokey. It is very juicy and has exceptionally good flavor. Ripening to a deep brownish color, this slicing tomato is worth its keep in any garden. Vines are not tall, perhaps 5 feet. They ripen their 6 to 8 ounce fruit around 80 days after transplant. This variety seemed to like hotter weather. Perfect when sliced in salads, fresh eating, salsa, cooking, and garnishing. -
We have had so much fun growing Strelka's Arrow that I don't know if our garden can ever do without them! This sauce specialist is mild and sweet with very few seed cavities. It is mostly all meat. Strelka's Arrow's vines are determinant, excessively prolific, short, and sprawling. They are perhaps the most prolific sauce variety that I have ever grown. Vines are bushy and cluttered, so these need to be staked and bottom leaves trimmed. Our vines never had any diseases. We do spray with copper sulfate right after transplant and again after first fruit-set. If you have little space and need high yield, this would be a good choice for you. Firm fruits are perfect for drying and canning also. Does well as a keeper. -
Get your canning jars ready! Pull out your sauce pans! We're about to get busy. Tapacheko 2 is a sauce and canning specialist that would perform very well as a paste tomato also. Its in the vein of San Marzano. Slightly juicier and larger. It is a determinant variety and its loaded vines do not grow perhaps more than 2.5 feet tall. It was surprisingly late for us coming in at about 90 days but it was totally worth it! Even though it is a short growing plant, it does need staking because it is a high yielding plant. Make yourself some of the best sauce ever. -
Take a look at the pictures we posted for Tsarskiy Ljubimec. They will tell a story. The first impressive thing that you will recognize is when it starts fruiting. It holds a lot of fruits for a nice size tomato. Another impressive thing that I have noticed is that it hardly drops its blooms. We have harvested many bushels of tomatoes from just 4 plants! The true prize, though, is when you've sliced it. It is rich, sweeter, and balanced. Be sure to have a nice slice of bread ready, garnish it with some basil, cheese, olive oil, salt and black pepper...we have a winner! I recommend this tomato for any serious tomato grower and I especially recommend it for farmers market growers looking for quantity and great quality. -
A very interesting and unique squash that comes in a variety of shapes, Tromboncinos can weigh in excess of 10 pounds. They very often look like works of art because the shapes can be very abstract and curvy. Vines produce many squash which can be harvested at any time. They can also be left on the vine until Fall then over-wintered for many months for cooking. It's an Italian variety that is great for grilling or even sliced in salads. I like them sauteed. Finger lickin' good! -
Vorlon Tomato
If you are a lover of black tomatoes or if you have never tasted one, Vorlon tomato would be a good one to try. We grew if for the first time in 2017 and plan on growing it again from now on! Vorlon is a well balanced tomato with softish flesh that melts in your mouth. It reminds me of Nairobi Nights just not as intense. I have seen some that were close to 1 pound but the average size is closer to 10 ounces. Vines have potato leaves, are a bit sprawling, and prolific. This is a great tomato for sandwiches, salsas, and fresh eating off of the vine. 80 days. -
Yellow Accordion is a sweet, soft, beautiful, stuffing type tomato. It is also juicy! This tomato is a great fresh eating tomato off the vine and excellent when stuffed with already cooked food. It will not stand up to oven heat for more than a few minutes. Vines are very tall, prolific, resilient, and show great disease resistance. Great for fresh eating, stuffing, and salsa. Especially good for garnish and in sauces! This is one you must try. See it On YouTube! -
Zuckerklein Fruchti is a nickel sized red cherry that is sweet and fruity. There is a tinge of acidity that gives it a nice balance. Vines are between 5 to 6 feet tall and produce clusters of 5 to 7 fruits that ripen about 72 days after transplant. Good disease resistance. Great in salads, for cooking and canning, and fresh eating. A good choice for any cherry lover! -

Dwarf Artic Rose tomato is a perfect container variety. Its plants product plenty of tomatoes that seem happy together in bunches of 5 to 7. One of my observations of Arctic Rose is that it holds a lot of its blooms and set a lot of fruits. Although a few fruits may fall off the vine, this doesn't disqualify it from being a big producer. When fully ripened, fruits are tangy and juicy, with a sweetish undertone. Some staking support is necessary. You can expect fruits to ripen at about a 70 day mark and continue for quite awhile. This is a determinant variety, so they will be coming on fast and furious. Another good variety for containers or in the ground. I would try drying some because of the recognizable tang. Salsa would also shine when you use these. -

Boronia Dwarf tomato is a short growing, tree type variety. It produces chocolate colored fruits that remind me of Cherokee Purple in taste. It's texture is different from Cherokee thought, but there are some similarities. Boronia's plants are short, perhaps 3 feet tall when planted in full sunlight, and produce a nice amount of very tasty fruits. In our garden, fruits take about 75 days to ripen and are constantly ripening after that, so don't take your eyes off of them. Our plants have always displayed good resistance to diseases, but they may need a little help. Spray with copper sulfate or Serenade fungicide, those have always worked well for us. This is a variety that is determined to produce and will work hard to provide you with a good dinner of sandwiches, salsa, or sauces. Try them, you'll like them! -

Bundaberg Rumball tomato is a beautiful little dwarf cherry that shouldn't be overlooked. I haven't heard much hype about it but I'm here to say, there should be! Short 3 foot plants produce plenty of greenish-brown tomatoes that are perfect for many applications. The one that first comes to my mind is salsa. They can also be as snacks and fresh eating right off the plant, canned when greener or almost ripened, and used for cooking. About 3 ft tall vines will produce early and a really good amount for the size of the plant. They will need some staking. If you're growing in containers, plant deep and feed in a timely manner. -

One of the first dwarfs that I ever grew in containers, I enjoyed growing and eating Coastal Pride Orange so much that I literally recommended them to everyone. A big attractor for me was the 3 to 4 ft vine, beautiful rugose leaf foliage, and very pretty deep orange ripened fruits. Vines are not excessively prolific but they aren't slouches either. They produce a good amount of fruits that ripen in about 80 days. In some ways, Costal Pride Orange reminds me of Dad's Sunset or even Amish Gold Slicer, just on a shorter vine. Tomatoes are sweetish, meaty, medium-mild, and delicious. There is also a nice aroma to them when they are fully ripened. Containers or in-the-ground planting both work excellently. Some staking would be helpful. -
Dwarf Mahogany is another one that I first grew in buckets and later moved to the farm. I was totally pleased with both methods. This very unique, dark burgundy/brown tomato brings to mind intensity. It has exceptionally good flavor to the point where its a stand-out. A perfect selection for salsas, sauces, drying, fresh eating, garnishing, and sandwiches. In essence, this is a great tomato for almost any application. Vines ripen their fruits almost 80 days after transplant and you can expect tomatoes from that point until season's end. Be sure to stake well and check back often. Once they start ripening, they're persistent. A great selection to add a splash of color and encourage repeat customers at the market. -

Dwarf Pink Passion tomato reminds me more of a true fruit instead of a tomato. It possesses a personality all of its own and can truly inspire passion! 3 feet tall vines are hardy and produce a good amount of pale pink, aromatic fruits. If you love your tomatoes softer, juicy, fruity, and rich, this tomato will give you that experience. That's not all, sandwiches shine with Pink Passion as their companion. A little mayonnaise, black pepper, salt, olive oil, and perhaps some fresh basil, and your sandwich is good to go. Fruits begin to ripen about 80 days after transplant and plants must be staked. These babies can reach 8 ounces. Surprisingly, Pink Passion tastes great even when not fully ripened. -
Gandolf Tomato
Gandolf tomato is a taller dwarf plant that has a vine habit. It produces some of the prettiest bi-color, red and yellow, blunt heart-shaped tomatoes. Determinate, stringy plants can be five feet tall and prolific. I have noticed that like Grinch Cherry, these hate to lose a bloom. As a result, mostly all of their blooms turn into fruits. Gandolf plants have to be staked early.
