Grown at Hutchinson Farm since 2008. Plants available May 2019, in 4½" pots

We love heirloom tomatoes, and so should you! This year we have about two dozen cultivars of tomato plants available. Tomatoes from around the world, passed from generation to generation, in all shapes, sizes, colours, but most importantly, tasting great!
They're grown in 4½" pots, which we believe is perfect for transplanting in your gardens. The plants are a good size, with an exceptional root system, but they're not so big that they struggle to get established.

We do three plantings.
Planting 1: Ready early - mid May.
Planting 2: Mid - late May
Planting 3: Late May - early June
