Tomato descriptions (smallest to largest fruit)

All tomatoes are indeterminate and open pollinated unless noted

Pink Honey Drops - blush-colored orbs with tropical, sweet flavor. Incredibly sweet while being more nuanced and complex than the standard cherry tomato sugar bombs. As well as early to ripen and crack-resistant!

Chocholate Cherry - Deep purple-hued perfectly round cherries with big floppy stem leaves: an absolute beauty in the bowl. Like most tomatoes with darker hues, the flavor is robust, rich, and complicated in the best way. Vines are highly productive

Mix up - We swore we were going to label everything but we mixed up a few Chocolate Cherry and Pink Honey Drops. Embrace the mystery for a lil discount

Sungold - We don't know a sweeter, more sought after cherry tomato. Prolific, disease resistant, bright orange orbs containing with signature fruity flavor. Hybrid

Faischetto di Manduria - Determinate *Ark of Taste Heirloom*
Small, 2-3 oz, plum-shaped tomatoes with such prolific quantities that we eventually had to just stop picking them because we couldn’t keep up with the processing. In Puglia it is preferred even over the more famous San Marzano as the base of passata di pomodoro, an uncooked tomato sauce that emphasizes the freshness and fruitiness of the tomatoes. Excellent for drying. The harvests are extremely early for a paste type and conveniently concentrated for processing purposes. The most productive plum/paste type we’ve grown and unlike many varieties of the hot Mediterranean south, well adapted to our climate. 

Blush - A relatively new variety bred by Fred Hempel of Artisan Organics in Sunol, CA (with his then 8yo son in an advisory role), Blush set the bar high for beauty and flavor. The elongated (2.5”), cherry to saladette-sized fruits boast yellow skin with red marbling that gets more pronounced as the season goes on. Even with long hangtime, the thick flesh remains firm, giving a very satisfying toothsome and never mealy bite. The flavor is fabulously sweet, fruity, and complex. 

Brad's Atomic - is a plum tomato with lavender and purple stripes, turning to technicolour olive-green, brown/blue and red stripes when fully ripe. An interesting looking tomato to say the least. Also happens to be very productive and heat and disease resistant. The flavour is more spritely and tart than sweet (reminiscent of Green Zebras). Bred by Brad Gates at Wild Boar Farms. This tomato is less well adapted to the PNW than the others, we reccomend chose you prime spot for this stunning variety.

Juane Flamme - Famously productive, sweet and flavorful tomato. Great for snacking out of hand, just large enough for sandwiches. 

Italian Heirloom - Her flavor is the perfect balance of acid and sweet, her texture thick and meaty with very few seeds. We love Italian Heirloom for sandwiches and salsa as well as sauce and so appreciate its tolerance of many diseases. Great as a slicer or a paste tomato.

Cherokee Purple - Big beautiful slicer showcasing the robust and complex flavors dark tomatoes are known for.
