About us…
I have been growing heirloom tomatoes for over a decade now. When I first started growing my own tomatoes to offer to my friends and customers, I decided to grow for flavor rather than productivity. This is where my search for the heirlooms began. The reputation for producing high quality, fresh eating fruit preceded them. In the following pages you will find just a handful of the varieties of the heirloom tomatoes actually available if you choose to grow your own from seed. My choices for growing out were based on personal experience, the recommendations of countless others, and catalog descriptions of varieties that sounded too good to pass on. A few hybrids of exceptional quality are also offered in their own category.
This site is my attempt to make available several choice varieties of these marvelous heirlooms to people who don’t have the time, patience or proper growing facilities to start their own transplants. I love growing tomatoes and I am sure you will see my devotion in every plant produced. Each seed is set out by hand, one at a time. I mix my own soil, fertilize with natural fertilizers, and water every plant myself, throughout the entire growing season. I practice chemical-free gardening and likewise encourage everyone to get involved. There is absolutely no advantage to a chemical based program and actually several reasons that it can be a very unhealthy practice.
The good people at Park’s Seed have a quote that goes something like ‘Your happiness is worth more to us than your money’. These are reverent words, and they stand true for my belief as well. I truly appreciate your time here, reading these words and would also greatly appreciate your trust and faith by allowing me the opportunity to show you the quality of my plants. I promise to go above and beyond to make your experience a happy one.
