70 days. Lovely deep-pink fruits weigh up to 1 lb. They are early for such large fruit. Similar to Brandywine in size and having the same sweet, rich taste. Potato-leaved plants.

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

I grow several varieties of heirloom tomatoes each year. I grow this tomato every year because it is reliable, good tasting, early for such a large heirloom, productive, and relatively disease resistant. Zone 5b.

Pantano Romanesco Tomato

Catalog #TM127 Photo, description and reviews retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/pantano-romanesco/?F_Keyword=pantano

A Roman heirloom that was sent to us by Signor Barbetti from Italy. The fruit are large and are deep red with almost a purple tint. The flesh is very rich, flavorful and juicy. An excellent tomato for home and market gardeners; very rare and delicious. 70 Days to Maturity. 70 days to maturity.

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

Second year with 100% germination! These produced a full 2 weeks earlier than other varieties (even those bought as larger plants!) Important for folks who are selling at farmer's market! Great taste as a slicer & wonderfully meaty for sauces. The Pantano Romanesco will ALWAYS have a place in my garden! (Rock Falls, IL)

I was actually looking for smallish tomatoes to dry because I don't really like the texture of fresh tomatoes. (I guess I didn't read the description very carefully.) These are huge- both the plants (which outgrew the stakes and now gracefully drape over the fence) and the tomatoes. What surprised me the most is that I really like these sliced and fresh- very sweet and tasty. Unlike the varieties of plum and grape tomatoes in my New England garden, these didn't look diseased by late August although they didn't start to ripen until then either. (Windham, CT)

Organically Grown Strawberries: U-Pick Availability Coming Soon

Karena pauses her weeding among the raised strawberry beds. Soon we will have strawberries for U-Pick. Watch for availability dates and times. Only thing better than tasting freshly picked local strawberries is knowing they were grown with organic methods and lots of TLC.

Marmande Tomato

Catalog #TM119 Photo, description and reviews retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/marmande-tomato/?F_Keyword=marmande

Semi-determinate 70 days. Popular old French variety developed by the Vilmorin Seed Co. Scarlet, lightly ribbed fruit have the full rich flavor that is so enjoyed in Europe. Medium-large size fruit are produced even in cool weather. Productive market variety. Imported European seed.

I grew only eight of these plants last year and they were generous and tasty producers and did not get the usual leaf problems. Our climate is very hot and dry and I used drip irrigation. The most remarkable thing about them was that I took them camping with me and they lasted 17 days and kept firm to the end. I will definitely grow them again.

Tolerated a cool wet summer in Ontario, Canada near Algonquin Park. Very productive.

I grew six varieties this year, all from baker creek. I think this was my least favorite variety. I like juicy tomatoes vs the kind with thick walls and this one was juicy but I didn't think the flavor was much better than a grocery store tomato. It was just ok…They are good producers with nice-sized fruit (larger and flatter than a baseball) I think they might make some good sun-drieds but not so much for fresh eating…I think I will try a different red variety next year.

Indigo Rose Tomato

Catalog #3616 Photo and description retrieved from: http://www.johnnyseeds.com/p-8711-indigo-rose-og.aspx

Darkest tomato bred so far, exceptionally high in anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are powerful anti-oxidants. In the early stages of fruit development, Indigo Rose develops a dark purple pigment in its skin where exposed to direct sunlight. Green when unripe, purple-red when ripe, the 1-2 oz., cocktail-sized tomatoes have good flavor with 'plummy' overtones. Developed by Jim Myers at Oregon State University using traditional plant breeding techniques. Moderately vigorous. Compact indeterminate. Organically grown. 75 days.

Phyllis’ Notes:

We started growing Indigo Rose Tomatoes in 2013 at Marianne's request. She wanted this variety because of the anthocyanins, to insure her family's health. Our friends at Aujumama’s Food Truck makes a delicious jam out of these tomatoes. Indigo Rose Tomato plants for sale at the Clintonville Farmers' Market beginning Saturday, May 17th, from 9-1.

Geranium Kiss Tomato

Catalog # LS286 Photo and description retrieved from: http://livingseeds.co.za/geranium-kiss-tomato

(Lycopersicon esculentum) It is a very unusual bush tomato that produces masses of large cherry type fruit. Not small enough to be called cherry tomatoes but not large enough to rate as a small tomato. The lovely red fruit have a small point or nipple that gives it a distinctive look; however it is the foliage that really stands out. It truly does look like a geranium.

Reasonable vigor. High yielding even in Texas heat. Apparent disease tolerance. Six to 12 oz. fruit with strongly ribbed boat shapes. Exerted and flattened, wide stigma. Sparse foliage. Flavor is exceptional with full, strong, tart tomato flavors and long lingering aftertaste.

Costoluto Genovese Tomato

Catalog # TM210 Photo, description and reviews retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/costoluto-genovese-tomato/

The fluted, old Italian favorite that has been around since the early 19th century. Fruit are rather flattened and quite attractive with their deep ribbing. This variety is a standard in Italy for both fresh eating and preserving; known for its intensely flavorful, deep red flesh. This variety has also became very popular with chefs in this country.

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

I saw someone's review say they prefer this tomato for fresh eating. I'm glad they enjoy the fresh flavor. As a chef, I much preferred these hard-to-find beauties cooked. I predominantly use these for home use-- canning juice and sauces. The plants just keep producing. A few plants gave me over 100 quarts, and I gave away bushels to neighbors and friends. They are shockingly full flavored. Not overly sweet, or acidic, but flavorful. A very 'tomatoy' flavor. Deep and complex. They reduce wonderfully for a thick, rich sauce. Minimal processing required for juice or soup. Skins can be tough depending on growing conditions, but easy enough to concasse. Fresh, they tend to have a mealy texture. If you like to cook or can, or looking for a paste tomato alternative, I highly recommend this one.

Very easy to grow. It can be used any way a tomato can be used. On a sandwich, in a sauce, Frozen for later use, etc.

The 12 oz. slightly flattened fruit has delicious, rich flavor with nuances of tropical fruit that suits it well to simple salads or slices with only a light drizzle of dressing.

Black Krim Tomato

(Solanum lycopersicum) (aka Black Crimea) Found in Krim, Russia in 1990 by Lars Olov Rosenstrom of Bromma, Sweden. Beefsteak fruits are a unique combination of violet-brown and purple-red—they turn almost black with sufficient sunlight and heat. Excellent full flavor. Indeterminate, 70-90 days from transplant.

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

I love this tomato! Excellent flavor, color and disease resistant and it produced generously. I highly recommend it. It is quite watery though, and so it's not suited for making sauces or drying. But you can just slice them, drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy!

I don't really like tomatoes I grow them for my family. That is until I grew Black Krim I eat them like an apple in the garden the flavor is very complex, it's productive, disease resistant, and very pretty. Black Krim will always have a place in my garden.

I have been planting tomatoes for 35 years and try new heirlooms every year; but if I could only plant one variety this would be it. It was love at first bite! Retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/black-krim-tomato/?F_Keyword=black%20krim%20tomato

80 days Delicious, sweet flavor makes this 1-ounce cherry popular with home gardeners. Large vines set huge yields and are disease resistant. Developed by the late horticultural expert Alan Chadwick. He sure had a winner with this one!

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

I've been growing this cherry tomato for over 10 years, in the mountains of NM, in Albuquerque, NM and now in Missouri and it always grows and produces large amounts of good sized, tasty tomatoes. It was the only tomato that has always produced and has good disease resistance. It was the only tomato that made it through the drought and 14 days of 100 degree plus temps in Missouri 2 summers ago. Highly recommend this cherry tomato.

This was recommended by a cousin in Springfield, MO. This tomato produced when others didn't. It makes an abundant crop but not overwhelming like some cherries. Ping-Pong ball size with good flavor.

I have grown these tomatoes for three years now, and they delight me every year. They are firm and great tasting. I have never known them to be mealy or mushy. They are the perfect size to scoop the seeds out and stuff with your favorite ingredients! If you grow only one type of cherry tomato, let it be this one!

Amish Paste Tomato

(Solanum lycopersicum) First listed in the 1987 SSE Yearbook by Thane Earle of Whitewater, Wisconsin. Commercialized by Tom Hauch of Heirloom Seeds, who acquired it from the Amish near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Bright red 8-12 ounce fruits vary in shape from oxheart to rounded plum. Delicious flesh is juicy and meaty, excellent for sauce or fresh eating. One of Slow Food USA’s Ark of Taste varieties. Indeterminate, 85 days from transplant.

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

I LOVE the Amish Paste Roma. The size makes it easy to use. The flavor makes it fun to eat and it is not as acidy as most tomatoes. I was introduced to the Amish Paste about 5 years ago, I have not used any other tomato since then. I plant big veggie gardens every year and do a lot of canning and I just want to say the Amish Paste was a God send. The size is like WOW, lovin it. It has made my canning so much easier and fun to do.

My search was over for the best tasting "paste" tomato, after one bite of a ripe Amish Paste. In fact, out of the 100 tomato varieties that I've grown, this tomato is in my top 10 favorites for best taste (according to my taste buds). The plant itself was healthy, although I wouldn't call it a dazzlingly beautiful or a super robust plant with lots of foliage, but my gosh, it made up for it in producing some of the best tasting tomatoes that I've ever eaten and loads of them, too!

This was my mother's favorite for canning. I have tried other varieties, but mom's always right. Delicious, great sauce, but juicy enough for slicing, and much larger and easier to handle than the Roma. Retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/amish-paste/?F_Keyword=amish%20paste

(Lycopersicon esculentum) Organic Iron Lady F1 Hybrid Tomato. Disease Resistance: Late Blight, Early Blight, Fusarium Wilt (races 1,2), Verticillium Wilt, Septoria Leaf Spot. Plant Iron Lady Tomatoes away from susceptible tomato varieties. Fruit size is 3-4” in diameter and approximately 5 oz in weight. Determinate plants are 2.5-3’ tall and don’t require trellising. 75 days to maturity. First in a new generation of triple resistant varieties, from our collaboration with Cornell University and North Carolina State University.

Phyllis' notes:

It is impossible to lose an entire field of tomatoes and it happened to me in 2009. The only farmers in Pennsylvania who had tomatoes were those who grew them in High Tunnels. Every other small farmer was wiped out. Will try Iron Lady this year for taste and plant it as a last resort!  Must have a vine ripened tomato!

Red Brandywine Tomato

Catalog #1479 Photo and description retrieved from: http://www.seedsavers.org/onlinestore/tomato_3/Tomato-Brandywine.html 

(Solanum lycopersicum) (aka Red Brandywine) The original Brandywine introduced by Johnson and Stokes in 1889 from seeds they received from a customer in Ohio. Named after Brandywine Creek in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Large vines produce deep red 8-12 ounce fruits. Excellent flavor. Very productive. Indeterminate, 80 days from transplant.

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

This was the best of the three varieties I tried this year. They transplanted easily and took off. Huge, juicy fruit that just kept coming. Excellent choice for high volume needs.

I grew Brandywine in my hoop greenhouse this year. As they grew, I attached the vines to a support that went from the ground to the center top of the greenhouse. Our northern climate experienced a lot of rain in 2009, in July it rained 20 days out of the month. While there was a tomato blight in the north, the greenhouse gardeners were more exempt from that due to the controlled watering, and by the end of the season my tomato plants went to the top of the greenhouse and started trailing over the other side, over 6 feet tall! Their huge leaves, reminiscent of a big hand, were a delight, and as I watered them I would brush the leaves to get that nice tomato smell. I had to support the tomatoes because they were growing so large, many over 1 pound. The old timers like this flavor packed tomato for making into sandwiches, and I managed to also make lots of salsa with mine. I will grow this again for sure, and saving the seeds is fun, definitely not a chore. Bears lots of 1 to 2 pounders of medium red fruits. Retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/brandywine-tomato/

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

This tomato is delicious and makes a beautiful presentation. It grows in my greenhouse and has HUGE tomatoes on it. I think I may enter some in the county fair next year. Also the plant is strong and takes some abuse. People are in awe when they see these beautiful giants hanging in the greenhouse. I am too! No blossom end rot and inside is solid tomato. Not watery and seedy.

We absolutely love these tomatoes. 2012 will be our third season growing them. They really do have a pronounced pineapple flavor. It's a nice addition to any sauce and works very well in tropical fruit salsa.

I have to echo the 'sweet and fruity' flavor description. The fruit are just gorgeous. This is my tallest plant in the 'mater garden. It did take the longest to set fruit and the yields are small. However it is simply one of the best fresh eating tomatoes. Retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/pineapple-tomato/

I love this tomato. I do and will grow this every year. I skin and seed them for my health issue. They work wonderfully for me and have a very good flavor. The plants are easy to grow and don't seem to need as much water as some other varieties. I always get a good crop of tomatoes from the green zebra variety. I have passed this delicious little tomato on to many people and a friend grew them this year in her garden for the first time. She is a new fan of the green zebra. I place these free in my front yard and have had people come to the door and ask if I had more of those 'strange tomatoes'. I always tell them how to get a catalogue and to save the seeds from the tomatoes they get from me. If you want a good flavored tomato for a sandwich, this is the one.

This is a great variety, produces a lot, very early. Gorgeous fruit, super eye catching and incredible flavor. Even the kids loved this one! Growing this next year!

Sold out before I could lay my hands on the seeds, 2 years running! This is my favorite breakfast/snack tomato... never having had one for dinner, because I just can't wait to eat them all up! The flavor is great, has lots of tang.
