Amish Paste Tomato


 Giant, blocky, Roma type tomatoes have delicious red flesh that is perfect for paste and canning. It has world-class flavor and comes from an Amish community in Wisconsin.








Beefsteak Tomato


Indeterminate. Meaty flesh makes ideal for eating fresh, or slicing for sandwiches. This variety produces large, meaty red fruit over a long season on indeterminate plants. Because it matures late compared to many other tomatoes, it will provide a fresh harvest in the latter part of the season



Best Boy Tomato


Indeterminate. Beautiful bright red, firm, 8 ounce deep globe shaped fruits are smooth and really delicious. Some claim it's better than Better Boy, You be the judge! An excellent choice for mid-early production. Vigorous plants produce heavy yields. 






Better Boy Tomato


Better Boy Tomatoes are vigorous indeterminate plants that produce an abundance of extra large fruits. Some of these tomatoes can grow to weigh 1.5 pounds! Praised for their delicious, meaty flavor. Better Boy Hybrid Tomatoes have deep red, smooth and firm fruits. 




Big Boy Tomato


Indeterminate plants produce large, deep red, slicing tomatoes, some up to 2 pounds. Great for salads, canning,or juice, Produces until frost. 







Celebrity Tomato                                                                                                                                           72 Days to maturity.  Suitable for growing in garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses.  Winner of the All-America Selections award, this 8-10 oz hybrid cultivar tomato seed is a garden favorite! Celebrity Hybrid tomato seeds grow a plant that is bushy, and stops growing at a certain height.

An early, prolific, golden cherry tomato. 15-20 gm., round to slightly oval cherry tomatoes have a deep-yellow color. The flavor is well-balanced and delicious, and a majority of the early fruits are seedless. Healthy, compact plants with a concentrated early set.   Determinate







Idagold Tomato

Extremely prolific and early orange salad tomato bred by the University of Idaho.

These 2" orange fruits are among the first to ripen on the farm, and they spit out more fruits than seems possible on frankly scrawny plants. What they lack in leaves they make up for in bright, mellow-flavored fruits! Excellent for short-season areas. Determinate.

Jelly Bean Tomato



 They're also a wonderful addition to salads and raw vegetable trays. The disease-resistant vines bear multiple clusters of 15-30 grape-size fruits that resist cracking—so picking is easy. Jelly Beans Hybrid Tomato keeps producing, so you'll enjoy fresh, sun-ripened grape tomatoes for months. The indeterminate vines grow 6-8 ft. tall and staking is recommended.
