Organic Heirloom Tomato Seeds
posted by Mighty Staff
For those of you with your hearts set on planting tomatoes this year, consider sourcing organic heirloom tomato seeds.
Abundant Life Seed Company offers many varieties of 100% certified organic vegetable seeds including a nice selection of certified organic heirloom tomato seeds. Use the left-hand list to easily browse through the photos and tomato descriptions.
Two Wings Farm will ship organic heirloom tomato seeds to Canadian readers. They have many wonderfully rare heirlooms available. The site provides nice descriptions of the different tomatoes, so you know what to expect at harvest time. Have a look at the deliciously rustic (endangered) Purple Calabash.
High Mowing Organic Seeds is another 100% certified organic seed catalog including a couple organic heirloom tomato seed types. The Ceylon tomato is a stunner, likewise for Pruden's Purple Tomato.
Turtle Tree Seed - Bio-dynamic, open-pollinated flower, vegetable and herb seeds. They offer a nice selection of heirloom tomato seeds, but it's bit frustrating because there are no corresponding photos.
Do you have a favorite organic heirloom tomato seed source?

There is nothing quite like enjoying a sunwarmed, ripe Brandywine tomato while strolling through the garden in the evening.
My favorite sources:
Seed Savers Exchange

Seeds of Change

Baker Creek (not all organic, but a plethora of varieties)
http://www.rareseeds.com/
Not heirloom tomato seeds, but great french tomato and other gardening seeds mailed directly from France:
www.frenchgardening.com.
The site features great recipes and gardens.
For those in the LA area, there is Tomato Mania every year in March/April. They sell only heirloom tomato plants - 100s of varieties. www.tomatomania.com
