5 Days. Lithuanian tomato is another new one that we grew in 2017. I am so happy that we did! Big pink beefsteaks literally beg you for two slices of bread, some basil, mayo and cheese. Unfortunately many of ours never make it that far. I eat tons of these right there in the garden. They grow on sprawling vines that need to be staked well. Lithuanian is very balanced and rich. Think true old time tomatoes!

Liz Birt tomato is a medium sized, pink beefsteak, that almost seems like it wants to ripen black. Plants produce fruits that ripen about 80 days after transplant and continue coming until frost. Meaty with a rich balanced, sweetish flavor, Liz Birt vines are prolific and relatively disease resistant. We did spray these with copper sulfate, after which we had absolutely no issues. These beauties are great multi-purposed tomatoes that covers sauce to sandwiches and more.

80 Days. Ljubitelskiy Rozovy tomato (Любительский Розовый) tomato is one of our personal favorites here on the farm. First grown in 2017, this is the perfect tomato. Seriously everything about this pink beauty is awesome! About 1 pound fruits are produced on regular leaf vines that refuse to stop producing. Fruits are so delicious I could not stop eating them. Juicy, rich and balanced, with nice old time tomato flavor, this is the all purpose tomato that you want to grow as a main crop. It's not a fancy looking tomato but it is certainly one of the best for us here! Don't have a sandwich without this one!

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!

We grew some really great varieties in 2017. Among the best, was Lucky Cross Tomato. Believe me when I tell you that this is a big, fine, bi-color tomato! Large sweet beefsteaks are marbled with red and yellow streaks, inside and out. Fruits can be as large as 1.5 pounds. Vines have potato leaves and are about 6-7 feet tall. You can expect your first ripened fruits about 85 days after transplant. A very unique fruit that has nice and firmer texture. Production is good. This may be a nice selection for market sales. Stake well and get ready!!

In 2017 we ate no other tomato right of of the vine in the garden as we did Lucky Tiger. Another fine production by Fred Hempel of Artisan Seeds, this tomato is the BOMB! Perfect for salsas, jams, jellies, drying for flakes and powder and tons more, there is no better say to have it than freshly picked! High producing vines are six feet tall and bushy. They produce two inch long, greenish pink, bi color tomatoes that are the closest thing to real fruits. It's really hard not to eat them all. I literally ate hundreds of these before I saved my first seed. If you haven't grown lucky Tiger tomato, Get it!
-
70 Days. Maglia Rosa is another excellent production by Mr Fred Hempel. 2 feet tall, determinate plants are loaded with tomatoes early in the season. These were among the first to ripen for us in 2017. Two inch long fruits are rosy pink and very gorgeous! We never staked our plants but they could be lifted a little. Sweet, a bit fruity and good, is how I would describe Maglia Rosa. These are great for fresh eating, market sales, salads, jellies and jams. Absolutely perfect for drying!

You haven't tasted a really good beefsteak unless you tasted a Mama Irene's Tomato. Huge beefsteaks that are constantly over 1.5 pounds and often closer to the 2 pound range, these just keep coming all season long. Everything is large on a Mama Irene's vine. It is a very meaty tomato that you will absolute love. Sweet but balanced, juicy, and relatively early for its large size, this tomato will blow you away. Vines are not tall but very bushy and produce plenty of beautiful pink beefsteaks. Stake well! Fruits begin to ripen about 80 days from transplant, so get ready!
-
80 Days. Mama Leone is a tomato especially made for sauces, paste and catsup. If your pasta needs some thick sweet sauce, you should try these! Hardy plants produce plenty of 2 inch, fat elongated tomatoes, that turn bright re when ripened. These are in the mold of Amish Paste, but smaller. Great aroma too!
-
85 Days. Marazini Oxheart tomato is one of my favorites. Like most of the other oxhearts that we grow, it has huge taste appeal! Fruits are very balanced and delicious with plenty meat. Sizes vary but most are between 5 and 10 ounces. Vines are skinny and tall. They are very productive and are usually the last plants left standing! Stake early and well.
-
Mayo's Delight Tomato
80-85 Days. Mayo's Delight tomato really impressed me in 2017. It has certainly made it's way in my regular grow list. This multi-purpose red oxheart is very impressive. Weighty fruits average about one pound, but can be larger. I especially love its rich sweet taste, and intense flavorful juice. Makes great pasta sauce. Serves well as a sandwich tomato too! Vines have good disease resistance and will produce until frost. This is a really, really good tomato! Try it! right off the vine. -
This has to be among the best beefsteaks that I grew in 2017. Large red tomatoes with excellent taste, grow on 5 feet tall, bushy vines. Fruits are consistently close to 1.5 pounds and sometimes larger. A fantastic balance of sweets, fruits and acidity, complimented by the perfect amount of juice, makes Melissa a winner. If you are looking for an exciting new beefsteak to add to your catalog, Melissa The Caucasian Shepherd tomato is it!
-
75 Days. I present to you Mendoza 44 tomato. It is the best smaller slicing tomato that we grew in 2017. Nothing else was better! Mendoza is a perfect balance of sweet, tang, fruit and great juice. Bright red fruits weigh about 4-6 ounces and are not fancy, but they will blow you away. I think I ate more of these in the garden than I did any other variety. Great for sauces, slicing and salsa.
-
80 Days. Michael Pollan tomato is a green and yellow bi-color, pear shaped fruit. A multiflora, you can expect tons and tons of tomatoes once these start ripening. They are a nice blend of fruitiness, sweets and tarts. Vibrant vines are about six feet and show good disease resistance. When ripened fruits turn. yellowish green, so watch out for them. Great choice for salsa, snacking, cooking canning and garnish! Very tasty and satisfying!
-
Minnie's Pinstripe tomato is a 1 pound red and yellow bi-color. It's sweet mildly fruity and juicy with some interesting complimentary flavors. Vines are 6 feet tall and produce plenty of really good eye turners until frost. A perfect sandwich tomato, you can use Minnie's for almost anything that a tomato can do! Vines are hardy and seem to like our hotter summer weather here in Indiana USA. 85 Days!
-
If you aren't impressed by many tomatoes or don't like tomatoes at all, I suggest you give Olga Pink Heart tomato a try. True to the oxheart family, Olga packs great taste and beauty appeal. Wispy leafed vines produce huge quantities of perfect, pink heart-shaped tomatoes that are head turners. Although these are a bit late to ripen, they are absolute winners! Its sweet and dense flesh, great aroma, balanced juiciness, and thin skin, makes it a great candidate for many applications. My experience tells me that you should try them first in the garden. My experience also tells me, if you did, not many would make it to the kitchen table. These are great for sauces, salsa, sandwiches, cooking, and especially fresh eating off the vine. Staking is required because vines are skinny and tall. Try it, it's a winner!

Angelina's Heart is so good that it should be a lock for any serious tomato grower. We grew it in 2015, 16, and 17, and each time, it was one of the first tomatoes to ripen in the garden. It even ripened fruits more quickly than some cherry varieties. The two biggest qualities that I like about this fruit are that they are prolific, and of course, very tasty. Fruits are between 6 and 12 ounces. True to the oxheart family, vines are tall and have wispy leaves. Their skinny bases makes it imperative that they are staked early. They are just waiting for the first rain to topple over. Meaty, sweet, and smooth is how I would describe Angelina's Heart. It will give you a full flavored experience that is hard to forget. This is another oxheart winner.

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.

Out of stockNorthern 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.
-
Polish is a nice size tomato that is a must grow if you are a serious gardener. Huge pink fruits grow in clusters of 3 to 5 and begin to ripen about 85 days after transplant. They continue to decorate the garden until season's end. Fruits are sweet, meaty, juicy, and medium-mild. Vines are about 6 ft tall, perhaps taller, and demonstrate great disease resistance. This is a perfect tomato for sandwiches and slicing. I especially recommend this one for market sales because its taste is similar to Pink Brandywine. This, for sure, would encourage return customers!

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.

I suspect that it will also be a good tomato for drying and making tomato powder. An excellent choice for market vendors! -
Out of stockRed Brandywine is a winner for almost everyone who has ever grown or tasted it. It's one of the most popular beefsteak tomatoes in the history of heirloom tomatoes. 5 to 6 ft tall sprawling vines produce huge crops of intense red tomatoes that can reach 1.5 pounds. Most of ours have been between 1 and 1.5 pounds. Potato leaf plants begin to ripen their fruits about 85 to 90 days after transplant. They continue to produce all the way until frost.

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!
