Grow heirloom tomatoes with these great heritage seeds. Heirloom tomatoes are old, even antique varieties that are not usually grown commercially. These seeds also carry much history, with many varieties handed down from generation to generation and can be hundreds of years old. This type of tomato is not grown commercially because it may not have a perfectly round shape, could lack disease resistance, or may not handle shipping across the country.
So why grow a heirloom tomato? Because they taste fantastic!
These tomatoes usually have a much stronger tomato flavor with a wide range of subtle sweets tastes that you cannot get out of a store bought tomato. They make for great conversation at dinner, offer better texture, and delicious flavors, while allowing you to eat local produce that is as sustainable as it gets. If you save your seeds, you are also saving important pieces of history that would otherwise be lost to progress. Clicking the links below will open a new window on eBay with a full description of the heirloom tomato seeds.

Yellow Brandywine
A large yellow beefsteak type tomato with an excellent flavor and a creamy texture that reaches weights from 1 to 2 pounds. These nice yellow tomatoes are produced in adequate numbers upon an Indeterminate vine which features potato type leaves. The plants are hardy and do exceptionally well in climates subject to drought.
Mortgage Lifter
An heirloom pinkish-red variety still in demand with gardeners. This large, meaty, mild-flavored tomato has few seeds and is the perfect tomato-sandwich tomato.
The 'Mortgage Lifter' tomato was developed in the early 1930's in Logan, West Virginia by a radiator repairman, M.C. "Radiator Charlie" Byles. Without any experience in breeding, he made a successful cross of four of the largest tomatoes he could find - German Johnson, Beefsteak, an Italian variety, and an English variety. Radiator Charlie sold the first seedlings of his new tomato in the 1940's for one dollar each to customers who drove up to 200 miles for his famous plants that bore tasty tomatoes averaging two and a half pounds. With these sales, Charlie managed to pay off his $6,000 mortgage in only six years, and so the tomato was named 'Mortgage Lifter'.
