Grown at Hutchinson Farm since 2008. Plants available May 2021, 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 4 plantings, and have availability early May to early June. Please note, as soon as it is warm enough (about May 10th?) we will have out "tomato wagon" where you can select your tomato plants. You do NOT need an appointment for this, however if you want to enter any of the greenhouses for flowers or herbs, you will need to make an appointment!
