One of the things I like about Ussuri Tiger tomato is that it has a good niche. This is a mild and juicy fruit that has a fruity aftertaste. At the farmers market, some of our customers loved it because it was not strong, but still delicious. Ussuri Tiger is an antho tomato that sports nice dark stripes over pale yellows. Our first ripened fruits were relatively early, coming in around 70-72 days. Plants were very prolific and hardy. Some of ours were still producing a lot at September's end! These are great for snacking, garnishing, salsa, cooking, canning and so much more! Very good market variety! -
Behemoth King Tomato
85 Days. If you like plenty of solid meat in your beefsteaks, Behemoth king tomato will meet your expectations! Huge 1-3 pounds beefsteaks on tall, strong vines, are in clusters of about 3-4. Plants have good disease resistance and are determined to produce. Early staking is essential. At times fruit support may also be necessary! Ours relished the hotter, dryer months and did well in the wetter times too. As far as taste, Behemoth King tomato is sweet, really balanced and medium juicy. Sweets, tang and richness are all flavors you will experience when you bite into one! Get ready for a treat! -

There is so much that I could say about Pusta Kolox tomato. Since this is a short description, I will simply say that it's GREAT! Radiant vines just keep pumping out huge red beefsteaks that are oblate and about 1.5 pounds. Sweet and rich with a very nice finish, Pusta Kolox should be on your yearly grow-list. A great fit for making delicious sandwiches. A fine all-purpose variety. -
One of the things I love about Mexican Giant tomato is that its vines aren't tall. Ours have never been more than 5 feet tall. They produce up to 1 pound, pink fruits that have excellent flavor. Fruits begin ripening about 80 days after transplant and continue through frost. A great selection for sandwiches and market sales. -
One of the most prolific dwarf varieties that I have grown, Dwarf Amy's Ohio is a winner. 3 feet tall plants produce beautiful green when ripened fruits, some of which have pinkish blossom ends. When sliced, you will find a pretty and inviting lime green. These are perfect little slicers with sweet and complex flavors. Fruits up to 6 ounces. Perfect for container gardening or raised beds. -

A very unique tomato that seems to be sandwich ready, JD'S Special C-Tex Tomato is packed full of flavor too! Productive plants seem to surprise with their production when the finally start. Ours were high producing and just south of mid-season. Fruits were between 6 and 10 ounces, with a few just bigger. Once they have started ripening, you'll have them until frost. A great selection for sandwiches and although n0t a sauce specialist, I did make some very fine sauce with this one. A pleasure to grow. If you haven't tried these, please do! -
Are you daring? Our Pink-Purple-Sunrise Bumblebee Mix is a blend of three popular cherry tomato varieties. All three varieties are individually fantastic. They noted as some of the best cherries on the planet. This is a perfect blend for market vendors and chefs, big time snackers and anyone wanting to experiment. Each of these cherry types is as versatile as they come. Make jams, dehydrate, fantastic salads, eat in the garden, cook or do anything that you want with these. All varieties have vibrant growth with great disease resistance. This blend is not even, but it's close. Surprise yourself, plant a row! -
I was gifted seeds for The Richardson Tomato and decided to grow a few plants out. I was rewarded with what I consider a real tomato. The Richardson Tomato is really a good all-purpose fruit. I only made sandwiches and sauce with it but based upon its texture and taste, I assume it will be good for salsa, for cooking, and perhaps catsup. It surely would be worth a try. I especially enjoyed it on sandwiches and I also had quite a few right in the garden--they were perfect! This beautiful smooth fruit will draw you in with its aroma. Vines are 6 feet tall and produce well. Ours displayed good disease resistance. We did spray one time with copper sulfate. Vines produced until Fall. -
75-80 days. Lover's Lunch is a four to six ounce, red and yellow bi-color fruit. Hardy vines are about 6 feet tall and bear a lot of delicious fruits. Like many red and yellows, this tomato is on the sweeter side. It's juicy but not too much so. It's a good little slicer that would work well as a sandwich tomato, but it's strengths are slicing, garnishing and especially salsa. I enjoy it best when well ripened and eaten right off the vine! Try Some! -

70 Days. Fireball tomato is a container variety that does well in the ground too. Skinny upright plants are tree-like and produce cherry-sized, bright red fruits that are meaty and sweet! We grew ours in 3/4 gallon containers and they did very well. I suspect they would do better in a 1-2 gallon container. Our plants were about 2 feet tall! These are perfect salad, snacking and drying tomatoes. Can be grown indoors and under lights. -
Margaret Curtain tomato is among the tastiest, black varieties that we have grown. Shorter, indeterminate plants produce prolifically and showed a good resistance to early blight in our grow-outs. Fruits were rich, sweeter and slightly earthy with other complimentary flavors. I especially loved it's texture. It wasn't mushy or mealy, just smooth. Margaret Curtain also have nice aroma that always made me feel like eating them all each time I harvested. 4-8 ounces fruits began to ripen about 75 days after transplant. They continued coming until season's end. This variety can be a nice choice for smaller gardens, container or patio grown. Try em! -
Bingo Cherry was gifted to us by Mr Bill Jeffers. It's a meaty and firmer little fruit that is all about taste. Ripening to a nice brownish color, this tomato is sweet and juicy with a really rich finish. 6 foot vines produce big crops of nickel to quarter sized cherries that begin to ripen about 75 days after transplant. These produced all the way until frost. Great for snacking, market sales, jams or jellies and drying. -
Variegated rugose leaves of green and white is what you will experience when you grow out Dwarf Elsie's Fancy tomato plants. I never really got a chance to take pictures of plants but they are very beautiful and unique. Fruits are smooth and tasty, with hints of the tropics. I loved its production in 2021 and found it to be a very good little slicer. Taste is sweet, fruity with some acids in there too. For us, this wasn't a very mild tomato and it was very, very good. Our 3feet tall plants had an indeterminate growth habit and produced nicely all season long and until first frost. These will work wonderfully in containers too. NOTE: You must grow these and check out the beautiful green and white leaves! -
Tlacolula Yellow Tomato
Tlacolula Yellow tomato is a fun variety to grow. Sweet and mild, these ruffled fruits are perfect for garnish and stuffing. I have personally made some very delicious sauce with this and its pink sister, Tlacolula Pink. Plants are tall, willing and tough. They produce plenty bell-shaped fruits that are around 4-6 ounces. Disease resistance is excellent! Stake early and you should have a blast growing these out. A real eye candy variety that will be the talking point of your summer tomato garden! Expect fruits until frost. 75 days to ripen after transplant. -
In 2018 we grew Demidov Dwarf tomato for the first time, and were pleased with it's growing habit and taste. Personally, I wasn't sure if it had a special purpose, or if it was just a general purpose tomato. So I put it to the test. As it turns out, it worked well for sauces and sandwiches. Also, it was a very good snacking tomato. Demidov is a blunt heart that has a sweetish taste but veers towards the mild side. Ours cooked down into some really thick, flavorful sauce, without any additions. When it was seasoned, WOW! Short plants are like trees. Production is good. Grow these in containers too! -
85 Days. I remember the very first time that I grew Theas and where in the garden they were. that's because George Detsikas tomato is a memorable one. Other than great its taste, I always remember how aromatic this fruit was. I have grown these about five times in the last ten years and nothing has changed. They are so flavorful, rich and delicious that they easily make my "best sandwich tomato" list. Tall thick vines are disease resistant. -
Ghost Pepper Seeds (But Jolokia)
Ghost Pepper seeds are now available at Renaissance Farms! Also known as Bhut Jolokia, this super hot chilli has a smoky, fruity taste, if you can get past the brutal heat. On the Scoville scale, it measures 1,041,427 SHU. This baby is HOTTT! I use these for making sauce but it can be used for smoked chili, chili flakes and even fresh in cooking. NOTE: Ghost peppers are not for the novice! -
Full-flavored, rich and earthy is how I will describe Ruby Surprise tomato. Sporting a look all of it's own, this bronze-colored tomato never turned darker, like some others. This gave them a very outstanding visual appeal! I knew just what they were when I walked by the vines. Ruby Surprise is a 8-12 ounce beefsteak tomato that also have good, smooth texture. These work well for sandwiches. Slice some for a platter display, or eat them fresh right out of the garden. Either way you will have a grand experience! Production is good and plants are hardy. A nice addition for your tomato garden! -
In 2018 we did not grow many gigantic varieties. Of the ones we did grow(about 8 or so), Brutus Magnum was perhaps the most consistently large. Fruits averaged between 1.5 - 2.3 lbs. At times we really struggle with vine upkeep. A few tomatoes became too heavy for their plants and broke themselves off. That was offset by good production, so we still got plenty fruits from just 4 plants. Brutus Magnum is a clean variety. Most tomatoes did not have cracks. Very meaty and evenly balanced taste. This one need early, consistent and proper staking! Great sandwich tomato! 88 Days! -
NOT FOR THE NOVICE!! Packed with heat, Apocalypse Scorpion Chocolate pepper made me some of the best hot sauce in 2021. I planted 6 plants and they never stopped producing. Very prolific, so you will get many peppers if you take care of them. These bumpy chocolate beauties measure about 1,400,000 SHU. As a comparison, so you would know how hot these are, Jalapenos measure 5,000-10,000 SHU. So if you want fire, you've got it right here! Apocalypse Scorpion Chocolate is not just heat. There's a very nice flavor behind the heat. If you can stand the burn then you will get to the flavor! Great for sauces, hot pepper flakes and powders. I have made so much sauce with these and shared much with my three sisters and mom. We are all fire-breathers! lol. -
Olive Hill Tomato
Olive Hill Tomato is a deep pink, large beefsteak with excellent flavor. Originating in Kentucky USA, most of our fruits were in the one pound (16 ounce) range. Potato leafed plants are around 6 feet tall and produce a plenty. These will need extra support. Flavor is old fashioned, rich and balanced. Clean, blemished free fruits! A great choice to do whatever you wish. I had a couple of these in the garden, excellent! Made many sandwiches with these too, always great! Another one that I will grow again in 2021. -
Dwarf CC McGee Tomato
Dwarf CC McGee tomato was my dwarf winner in 2019. Big fruits just kept on coming! Potato leaf, rugose leafed plants were as hardy as you could possibly get. Ours grew to about 3.5 feet tall. Most of our fruits were between six and eight ounces. A few were slightly bigger or smaller. Tomatoes were oblate and a light shade of yellow, or perhaps ivory. Taste was very good, sweet and tart, but in perfect balance, slightly fruity and satisfying. I am definitely growing these wonderful dwarf cultivar again! Great for small gardens or container growing! -
The pictures below say it all. Dwarf Pink Opal tomato is, in my opinion a superb little cherry variety. I love everything about it. Plants are short, very productive, pretty and delicious. Our plants displayed really good disease resistance! Dwarf Pink Opal brought us tomatoes all season long. About 1.5 inches in diameter, these tender pink, smooth skinned, fruity cherries, are perfect for snacking. They are mildly sweet and juicy and make a really good salad. But snacking on them right in the garden is how I really loved them. Another good one for container growing! Try some, you'll love them too. -
2018 was the first year that we grew African Vining tomato. I was very pleased with the outcome! What we got was a very good sauce tomato that had nice stand-alone flavor. It was softer and more aromatic than some other elongated varieties, so it wasn't the best keeper. I especially loved sauce made from this variety, which was sweeter and thick. African Vining vines produce as many as most noted sauce and paste types ( Amish Paste, Abbittista, Jersey Devil). Vines are wispy and need early staking. Great too for canning, cooking and paste. Would be a great new addition to your sauce cultivars. -
Cherokee Green tomato is a real pleasure to grow! It also has s taste all of its own. not wanting to make it difficult for you to choose, this tomato reminds me of a mild fruit that just soothes you. it's sweeter, a little mild, have a lot of great rich juice and fruity. Vines are hardy have good disease resistance, are about 6 feet tall and produce plenty fruits. Tomatoes are in clusters of 3-5. They weigh about six ounce. Tomatoes begin to ripen 80 days after transplant and are present until frost!. -
80-85 Days. Persimmom is a nice sized, yellow tomato that I first grew in 2012. I have grown it every other year since then. Light yellow, juicy tomatoes can reach one pound. They are slightly sweet, juicy and milder. Plants are bushy and productive. Great selection for sandwiches, slicing in salads, salsa and nice yellow tomato juice!
