This variety works for:

  • Fresh eating
  • Sauce
  • Roasting

  • Freezing


Store your tomatoes at room temperature. The flavor and texture of tomatoes suffer when the fruit is chilled.


Heirloom tomatoes are bred for their flavor and simple preparation best allows that intense flavor to shine through. Tomatoes can be sliced and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper or layer slices with basil and mozzarella for a Caprese salad.


Roasted tomatoes have a richer, concentrated flavor.


There are hundreds of salsa recipes to try and most are dramatically improved with the use of heirloom tomatoes. Tomatoes are also the main ingredient in Gazpacho, a cold soup that is perfect for summer.

Easy to grow, my family says it tastes good. I'll take their word for it as I do not care for raw tomatoes. Good in sauce.

A Winner

Huge, beautiful sweet fruits. Incredible for making sauces or slicing on BLT. Creamy…and perfect! Does well with frequent fertilizing. Some have gotten as big as softballs!
