Heirloom Cherokee Purple tomato belongs to the “beefsteak” group of tomatoes, meaning that it is very juicy and large with a robust flavour that lends itself best to fresh eating.  Cherokee Purple tomatoes get their name from their skin, which boasts rich, dusty shades of purple and pink with shoulders that are often green. Its flesh is a deep rose with wet and red, sometimes green, pockets of seed. The Cherokee Purple tomato’s flavour consists of a rich combination of mostly sweet, and some acidic, notes. Despite the relative sweetness of the tomato its flavour is in no way saccharine. Rather, it is balanced, complex, and slightly smoky.

✿ Everything we sell is 100% ORGANIC ✿

Our mission is to collect, store, and regenerate the organic seeds of thousands of rare, heritage, and open-pollinated varieties.

Heirloom seeds constitute a critical part of the nation’s agricultural heritage and help ensure genetic diversity of plant species. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. You can play an enormous role in preservation by growing out heirloom varieties for seed in your garden.

We are constantly searching, sourcing and adding new varieties each season and continue to expand our large range of flowers, fruit and vegetable seeds. We also look for interesting plants that are well known in other countries, and could do well in the UK, but have so far remained relatively unknown.
