Tomato -‘Pruden’s Purple’
PRUDENS PURPLE : A personal favourite! If I had to choose one tomato this would be it, grown here for many seasons, it never disappoints. It’s not purple, but rather a deep red-pink, solid meat beefsteak type with exceptional taste!

Crack resistant, vigorous and produces non-stop. An elegant little addition to this colour class! Everyone who tries this one comes back for more! A keeper!

TOMATO – ‘Carbon’
Highly recommended tomato! Carbon produce nice large beefsteak fruit that are beautiful, mostly blemish free and delicious! Fantastic whether eating fresh or making sauce. Winner of the 2005 “Heirloom Garden Show” best-tasting tomato award. These have won taste awards coast to coast in the last few years. The fruit is smooth, large, and beautiful, being one of the darkest and prettiest of the purple types we have seen. It seems to have an extra dose of the complex flavor that makes dark tomatoes famous."
"Rich, complex flavors made this variety the winner of a recent heirloom tomato taste testing at Cornell University."

Tomato – ‘Opalka’ Heirloom Paste
My favourite paste tomato! Meaty with few seeds and unlike most common paste tomatoes, 'Opalka' actually has a good flavour, making sauces and pastes even better. Expect great yields of 3x5" massive, solid bull’s horn–shaped red fruits with dry texture. Dries well. While some tomatoes falter during hot dry spells, Opalka produces consistently.
This heirloom tomato is amazing to behold and difficult to find. If you grow tomatoes for paste, this is the one. Polish heirloom brought by the Opalka family to Amsterdam, NY, around 1900. A shy seed producer, it consistently gets dropped for that reason by commercial enterprises, so we’re happy to be able to offer it!
