What are your favorite types of tomato varieties? 🍅 We grow about 6 different varieties each year. Usually an heirloom slicing variety, 2 Roma varieties, a patio variety, an Everglade cherry, and another type cherry. We grow mostly for our family and share the extras with friends, neighbors, & the local food bank.
