Vegetable Plants and Seeds for 2010
Join the biggest trend in gardening - growing some of your own food! Start with our organic vegetable transplants or seeds.

Heirloom Tomatoes - SOLD OUT

Most of our tomato plants are heirloom varieties - open-pollinated varieties that were developed and cultivated prior to 1931. These are varieties that have been selected by farmers for exceptional flavor, and passed down through generations. Heirlooms come in all colors of the rainbow - even dark purple to black! Try something unconventional this year! All organically grown!

Cherry Tomatoes:

'Matt's Wild'. Heirloom. Tiny, ¼” to ½” red fruits are very sweet, with a full flavor. Large, sprawling vines need plenty of room. Grows wild in eastern Mexico. Indeterminate.

'Yellow Pear'. Heirloom. 2” fruits that grow in clusters look like miniature yellow pears. Great in salads, for pickling, or straight from the garden. Indeterminate. 

'Sungold Select II'. An open-pollinated, non-hybrid selection of the Sungold cherry tomato (which is a hybrid). Very close to Sungold in flavor. These small, orange fruits have a sweet, tangy flavor and produce very early. Indeterminate.

Plum/Paste Tomatoes:

'Black Plum'. Heirloom from Russia. 75-80 days. 2-4 oz. fruits. A unique variety with notable flavor and deep-mahogany to brown skin. Thinner walls than other plum/paste tomatoes. Indeterminate.

'Amish Paste'. Heirloom. 81 days. Red, oxheart-shaped fruit has thick flesh and few seeds. One of the largest paste tomatoes with up to 12 oz. fruit. Excellent for canning. Indeterminate.

Slicing Tomatoes:

'Aunt Ruby's Emerald Green'. Heirloom. A large slicing tomato that is light green when ripe. Sweet but spicy flavor is unique! Indeterminate.

'Black Krim'. Heirloom from Russia. Fruits are deep red, nearly black, with hints of green. 8-12 oz. fruits have a salty flavor unlike any other tomato! Indeterminate.

'Black Zebra'. 85 days. Natural, stable cross between Green Zebra and black tomatoes. Richly-colored mahogany fruits with green stripes have a rich, complex flavor, with hints of smoke and sweetness. Very beautiful. Indeterminate.

'Brandywine'. Heirloom. Indeterminate, 82 days. Super large, purple/pink fruits, very juicy. The classic heirloom tomato that is the standard for taste! (above, with golf ball)

'Brandywine Sudduth'. Heirloom. Large, pink beeksteak with fruits up to 2 lbs. each. Intense, rich tomato flavor. Needs strong support. Indeterminate.

'Cosmonaut Volkoff'. Heirloom. Red, perfectly-shaped, medium-sized fruits look great and taste even better. Shorter vines than most. Very trouble-free. Determinate.

'Garden Peach'. Heirloom. Indeterminate, 71 days. Small orange/yellow/green fruit with slightly fuzzy skin. This one is a real looker, and extremely productive! (above left)

'Green Zebra'. Heirloom. Ripe fruits are bright green with light green stripes. 2-4 oz. fruits. Beautiful and unusual, and always in demand by tomato connoisseurs.   Determinate.

'Jaunee Flammee'. Heirloom from France. Beautiful golden-yellow fruits with red interior. 2-3 oz. fruits grow in clusters. Old-fashioned flavor; also great for sun-dried tomatoes! Indeterminate.

'Paul Robeson'. Heirloom from Russia. 74 days. 4” beefsteak tomato is a dusky dark red with dark green shoulders and red interior. Earthy, exotic flavor. A favorite of many! Excellent cool weather producer. Indeterminate.

'West Virginia Striped.' (above) A selection given to us by Quentin, a Sugarbush customer. This tomato, which has been selected and passed down in his family for generations, is a medium-size yellow-orange tomato with a red blush, and a mild, sweet flavor.

Vegetable, Herb, and Flower Seeds

This year, we are carrying 56 varieties of organically-grown vegetable, herb, flower, and cover crop seeds. Most of our seeds come from Seeds of Change (denoted by SOC), but this year we are also proud to introduce 12 varieties of Demeter certified biodynamic seeds from Turtle Tree Seeds (denoted by TT). Both of these companies are committed to a culture of sustainability and an emphasis on heirloom varieties that have been selected by farmers and passed down through the generations. Needless to say, none of these seed varieties have been genetically-modified.
