25 Best Heirloom Market Tomato Varieties- Open Pollinated Varieties Too!

If you are a market vendor and are seeking new varieties that would hold up to the rigors of heavy hand traffic, transportation and summer conditions, this little article may interest you. Here is my list of  25 best heirloom and open pollinated market tomato varieties. As a market vendor myself, the tomatoes that I have mentioned here have all done well for me from year to year.

I have also linked each one back to it’s page on our website so you can read a little more about them and see tons of  pictures. To read about each variety simply click on the name.

Most of the selections on this list are of varieties that I have used for many years. there are some new ones in the last few years. I did replace Blush with Sweet Cream because they are similar in taste and Sweet Cream is a cleaner crack-free fruit. All in all, I try to have a nice mix of colors, sizes and textures on my list. I seek the total experience with my selections. Of course, there are many more that can be great choices for the market but on my list are the ones that I have had success with for many years. Sometimes I may grow Old German or German Head. Except for a few additions every few years, I have not deviated from this list since 2013. I wish you JOY!
