My description of Buffalo Soldier Tomato would be that it's a very good representation of what a black tomato should taste like. 6-14 ounce fruits grow on 5 foot or taller vines that has shown good disease resistance in our gardens. Clusters of 3-5 begin to ripen about 80 days after transplant and continue until frost. As far as taste, these are sweetish, earthy, juicy with good texture. Its fast is no overwhelming it's just right. I like these especially eaten fresh and on sandwiches. Based on it's exterior feel and good taste, I also suspect that it will be good market variety also, but I didn't take any to my market. Definitely one to consider!

Big Ray's Argentinian Paste Tomato
Here is yet another great paste and sauce variety. Big Ray's Argentinian Paste tomato should always be considered when wanting phenomenal sauce and paste. It cooks down into thick, sweet sauce. Pour some on your pasta, or use it as a base for soups and bisque, very delicious! Big Ray's Argentinian Paste plants produce a good amount of 2-3 inch fruits that begin to ripen about 85 days after transplant in the garden. Wispy leaved vines need early staking because they begin to hold fruit quite early. Disease resistance was good for us. Let me know how your tomato paste turned out! -
Out of stockIt was our mission to grow more sauce and paste varieties in 2018. So we decided to include Gilbertie Red Paste tomato. I was very pleased with its performance. Wispy leaved vines produced huge, 2- 3 inch, elongated fruits that worked well for sauce. I also liked eating them fresh from the bottom side up, delicious! I did not make any paste with it, but it is a noted paste variety! Great too for fresh salsa, cooking, market sales and more! Not too much cracking for us. Gilbertie will be returning to our gardens in 2018 and beyond. 82-Days to ripen in our gardens! See It On YouTube.

Giant Belgium tomato is a favorite of mine. Even though we grow hundreds or varieties each year, I do have a go-to list when I want certainty. Giant Belgium is one of them. Some others such as Uncle E, Dester, Curtis Cheek and Gold Medal are also included. Giant Belgium is all meat, which makes it perfect for sandwiches. Our biggest fruits were about 1.4 lbs but they do get bigger. The seeds which we offer are always form the best specimen. Plants are vibrant! They start ripening their fruits about 85 days after transplant. Stake well and get ready!

Super Choice tomato is a Kentucky heirloom beefsteak that did well for us in our 2018 grow-outs. Thick steamed, indeterminate and bushy plants, grew to about 7 feet tall and produced 12-20 ounce, red tomatoes with outstanding flavor. When well ripened, Super Choice is flavorful, meaty, smooth and a little tangy. there are some sweetish under-tones. I especially liked them sliced with a little salt and pepper. They were great on sandwiches too! Vines were not prolific but produced plenty for their fruit size. I am placing this one in the balanced category with plenty of flavors to experience. Nice sandwich tomato. Made some great fried greens!

Mermaid tomato is a very unique. A nice sized slicer, this beautiful fruit has very nice flavor too. We received seeds from our European friend who gave us Dirty Curty, and grew a few plants out in 2018. To our surprise, they were larger than we expected. Fruits can reach 1 pound, but most are around 12 ounces. Vines are prolific and vibrant! Before full ripeness, fruits are a light yellow/whitish color, then burst into a beautiful red and yellow splashed, bi-color. On the inside is a light marbling of pink and yellow. This display is much lighter than some other popular large bi-color types. Tomatoes are juicy, slightly fruity, sweetish and satisfying. A very nice slicing tomato!

or the record, I like this tomato. I was really surprised with Pink Boar tomato in 2018. Honestly, it wasn't one that I had my eyes on. Even after they started ripening I wasn't anxious to taste them. Then one day, I harvested a bunch for seeding... At first glance, 4-8 ounce bi-colored could easily be mistaken for some other varieties. But their distinct and flavorful taste distinguishes them form some others that look alike. This is a very good selection for first-time tomato growers because they have good production, are pretty, tasty and relatively early too. Nice for slicing, snacking and sandwiches!

Out of stockSiberische Appletomat tomato is a semi-determinate variety with high yields. Fruits are beautifully red and yellow bi-colored and can weigh between 3 and 6 ounces. In 2018 we grew them for the first time and were pleasantly surprised with production. Our plants never crossed 3.5 feet tall and were among the heaviest producers in the garden. These also make excellent market tomatoes as they are real head turners. We had many repeat customers because of this variety. As far as diseases, these did well and never really showed any signs. Our fruits were milder and sweetish. These also kept well after harvest. 70-75 days to first ripened tomatoes!

Geranium Kiss Tomato
Geranium Kiss tomato is a beautiful, multi-flora, dwarf variety, that produces what seems like thousands of bright red cherry sized fruits. Plants are about 3 feet tall. Ours were exceptionally productive and disease resistant. These seem to hold on to every bloom and look like bright red Christmas trees when they are ripened on the plant. Expect tomatoes from the very bottom to tippy top! Staking is imperative because of the weigh of the trellises. These are perfect for snacking, canning, salads and even good tomato sauce. Fruits are on the sweet side, with not too much juice, but very tasty. Great for smaller garden spaces. Get your basket ready for many, many fruits until Fall! See It On YouTube. -

Black Magic Tomato
I planted these and forgot about them. The next thing I knew is I saw some very loaded vines in my garden. When I approached the plants I had no idea what they were. Once I read the labels, I was eager to see what the ripened fruits would look and taste like. At first glance, a ripened Black Magic tomato seems not very different from a lot of the other black varieties, but for me it differed in taste. These have that very rich taste of the black tomato family, but with a bit more complexity than most. A really good experience on sandwiches, when eaten fresh and even sliced in salads. This is one beefsteak that I will definitely grow again. Great choice for market vendors too. Production is good and disease resistance excellent, sturdy plants! -
Cancelmo Family Heirloom
Anyone who knows me would tell you that oxhearts are my favorite family of tomatoes. There are very few that I don't like.

What I discovered is that these have totally lived up to the good reputation of pink oxhearts. Very flavorful, tasty and mild, these have excellent texture and plenty meat. They are not as large as some of the others, but they are not too small either. Ours averaged 10-14 ounces., some were around 8 and we did have a few that were about 1 pound.

Purple cherries bear on trellises of 10-15 and are so good that they will never make it out of your garden. I ate many of these while working and I could never get enough.

Biquinho Pepper Red
In 2008 I became interested in gourmet peppers that had high flavor, very little to no heat and were prolific producers. As a culinary lover, I wanted varieties that I could cook with and include in almost anything I made. My very first love was Aji Dulce Orange. I graduated to other varieties with the passage of time. This year, 2019, I asked my the "Pepper Lady" at my local farmer market to recommend something to me. I wanted similar types. She suggested Biquinho Pepper Red and Yellow, the rest is history! These both have exceptional gourmet qualities. They are fruity, tasty and aromatic. Both appear to have heat at first bite, but that fizzles to nada! If you are seeking a wonderful varieties for pickling, flakes, powder, dehydrating, cooking, eating fresh, market or more, try the Biquinhos. Very Prolific! -

Feher Ozon Paprika Pepper

Good for stuffing, cooking and even pepper flakes, this one has little to no heat. Plants are very short. Many of ours were between 12 and 18 inches tall. They produce semi heart shaped, 3-5 inch long peppers that go from green to cream colored, then finally ripen red. A very useful variety if you love cooking with sweet peppers. Really good for pickling too! Perfect for containers and small gardens with limited space!! -

One of my favorites to grow, Moment Micro Dwarf Tomato is a high producing variety. I like these too because they are very nicely flavored.

Moment started blooming just weeks after transplant and fruits were ripening about 65 days after transplant. They continued producing for many weeks afterwards. Production is really good for such small plants. These are sweet with a little tartness and overall a very good experience! -
