We often get asked what our favorite variety of tomato is! Here’s each of the Gary’s answers to that question!
Gary Sr.
Favorite: “Celebrity! A nice sized 8 oz. tomato that keeps well and has a good taste. Great for both canning and fresh eating!”
Gary Jr. (Nelson)
Favorite: “Cherokee Purple! A great heirloom tomato with the best flavor! The only drawback is, they don’t keep well – eat them the night you pick them!”
Gary III
Favorite: “Cherokee Purple! An heirloom tomato that has an earthy flavor. Cherokee Purple Tomatoes are great for fresh eating and make a refreshing addition to a salad full of homegrown goodness!”
Honorable mention:
- Supersauce – A Roma tomato but weighing in at 2 – 3 lbs. each! Great for making salsa and tomato paste (or sauce)!
- Marglobe – A high yielding vine that produces large uniform, smooth, and juicy tomatoes!
- Lemon Boy – A low acid tomato that makes for a colorful addition to a dish when used alongside a red tomato!
- Sugary – This grape/cherry tomato is a very sweet snacking type of tomato that produces a high yield with a noticeable lack of cracked fruit!
