Quick note: My seeds are grown, harvested and selected by me. I start ALL of my seedlings/transplants, so you know there are no chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or harsh commercial fertilizers used in the products I produce. I use organic fertilizer, compost, and red worm castings, that's it! I do not buy foreign seeds or seeds that are out of date. I have been growing these varieties for years and they are proven winners. You will not be dissapointed. 

NON-GMO

HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES JUST TASTE BETTER!

MADE IN USA

Back in 2010 I bought my first assortment of heirloom seeds, off ebay actually, from Blue Ribbon Tomatoes in Kentucky. Unfortunately, they are no longer selling heirloom tomato seed, boo! Anyway, I bought 100 or so varieties and have been growing them out ever since. 

WAAAAYYYY before this, back in 2000, I was working at a little grocery store in Forestville, CA, SPEER'S MARKET. I remember I got a multi-pack sample of seeds that came as a product promo consisting of ACE tomatoes, marigolds, carrots, and one more I can't remember. Anyway, these sat in a box in my garage in temps of over 100 degrees f for 17 years until I planted some of them out last year, 2017. They germinated very well and performed amazingly for me. Now, I'm offering them to you! This year I'll attempt to grow out the carrots!

There was no info on the seed packet other than it was ACE tomato. So, I am calling it MARLBORO ACE.

This tomato, 
MARLBORO ACE
, performed amazingly well for me in the high desert frontier at 4100 feet. My growing season is sometimes very long (May-November) and other years it can end in early September. No matter, this variety puts on a ton of fruit and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor and appearance.
  • MARLBORO ACE
     tomato seeds, heirloom, open-pollinated, non-gmo. 25 seeds per packet. MARLBORO ACE
     has a fantastic flavor(did I say DELICIOUS?!?!), is red, large, and productive. 
  • Typical semi-determinate habit, nice fruit for canning or fresh use, great slicer.
  • MARLBORO ACE is a low acid tomato, great for those who prefer a milder tomato.
  • This is an awesome tomato. VERY PRODUCTIVE, this is a great variety.
  • A good sized, round red tomato. Very juicy and TASTY! This was great again in salsa, salads, and on sandwiches.
  • Great choice for an "HEIRLOOM TASTING PLATTER" with different colors of sliced heirloom tomatoes, basil, seasonings, etc. 

  • Did You Know? Research shows that protective effects of


  •  tomatoes against prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease 


  • result from the synergy of lycopene with other phytonutrients 


  • naturally present in whole tomatoes. Lycopene is highest in 


  • organically grown tomatoes.

  • Frontier Seed brand vegetable seeds are all 

    NON-GMO and open pollinated heirloom varieties.

  • Buy with confidence and plant the best!

Nutritional Value:
The red tomato is listed on most nutritional lists as a super-food. It is packed with the antioxidant vitamins A and C, potassium and the B vitamins for heart health, and above all a powerful carotenoid called lycopene. This phytonutrient, which is responsible for the bright red color of tomatoes, has been studied for its role in fighting various cancers, and its ability to lower cholesterol. When tomatoes are cooked, even more lycopene is made available. Lycopene has been shown to be especially effective when eaten with fat-rich foods such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts. There are the ingredients for a powerhouse salad!

INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

All seeds are fermented, strained, washed, dried, and stored at 34 degrees f until you purchase them. I have been saving seed for 7 years and this is the step by step process I use every year and I'll tell you, my germination rates are amazing! 
 
a quick note on seed storage... I feel through my experience the best way to store your seed is in the refrigerator. Some vegetable varieties produce seed that remains viable for many years (tomatoes) and others produce seed that does not store well under any conditions (onions). I believe seed stored under refrigerated conditions could last 10 years or more. I have just planted some ACE 55 seeds from 2000 this last summer 2017. They did great! Germination rates were in the 90% range and these seeds had been sitting in a box in my garage for the past 17 years! I have some of that seed available now listed as Marlboro Ace 55. GET SOME!

At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties. 

WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds are never cross pollinated  and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes ? Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green, Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy.  

WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce tomatoes all season. They don?t stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor.

Please see my other listings and my store for more great varieties and thank you!
