Cherry Tomatoes
Brads Atomic Grape
Our Favorite tomato! Large, elongated cherries in clusters. The color (and flavor!) is a full-blown assault on the senses—lavender and purple stripes, that turn to Technicolor olive-green, red, and brown/blue stripes when fully ripe. Really wild! Fruit holds well on the vine or off, making this amazing variety a good candidate for market growers. Olive green interior is blushed with red when dead-ripe. Crack-resistant fruit is extraordinarily sweet! Wispy foliage looks delicate but belies these plants’ rugged constitution and high productivity. These range some in size from a large grape to plum-sized.

Black Strawberry
Fantastic, sugar-sweet tomato flavor, that is fruity, with a hint of grape and plum flavors. If you relish the experience of digging into a bowl of high-quality cocktail tomatoes, then the Black Strawberry is your tomato. This 2-ounce fruit is marbled in purple, pink, green and gold. A bowl full resembles a luminous and luxurious bunch of gems, and indeed the flavor is decadent and indulgent, with perfectly balanced sweet and tart flavor!

Nappa Chardonnay
Yellow mutation from Napa Rosé Blush, Brad Gates says this one has “a super-amazing flavor,” with many who tasted it for the first time proclaiming it the very best cherry type they had ever tasted. Also, this variety is very easy to grow and does especially well in containers.

Black Cherry
Beautiful black cherries look like large, dusky purple-brown grapes; they have that rich flavor that makes black tomatoes famous. Large vines yield very well; very unique and delicious.

Barry's Crazy
Pale yellow cherries are delicious, and grow on some of the largest clusters known! Sweet fruit is oval, each with a tiny “beak” at the blossom end. Flavor is good, the fruit keeps well, and the sight of the 20- to 40-fruit trusses on the large plants is positively mind-boggling. A stunning new Wild Boar Farms release.

Blush Tiger
A gorgeous saladette tomato that glitters and shines, with superb flavor to boot! Bred by Artisan Seeds, this 2 to 2.5 inch long cocktail-type tomato has become a standout favorite in our trials. The slightly crunchy texture, eye catching “blushed” color, and perfectly balanced, sugary flavor put it into a different class entirely. A gourmet choice for market gardeners or anyone with a hankering for a phenomenal tomato!

Sweat Heart Cherry
Sugar-sweet, crunchy and so delicious! This cherry tomato is simply packed with sweetness and a rich, berry-like flavor. It is quite crisp, and the fruit can keep long on the vine, making it extra high in sugar! Sweetheart Cherry is a wildly productive little snacking tomato great for greenhouse and outdoor production. This was an outstanding tomato in our trials for flavor and yield, and the strong vines produced heavy yields of tomatoes longer than any other variety we have tried! Extra long trusses are smothered in small red cherry-sized fruit that resists cracking. Allow the fruit to ripen on the vine to a deep red for the very sweetest flavor, or pick earlier if you like it a bit more tangy; either way it is superb!

Sweet Heart Grape
What is Sweet Heart's secret? Well, flavor is the primary one. Cherry and grape tomatoes can be very tough: it's a balancing act to produce a skin strong enough to resist cracking, yet tender enough to be toothsome. Sweet Hearts reaches this balance effortlessly, even in late season, when many tomatoes become rather tough. And unlike many cherries and grapes, Sweet Hearts is strongly flavored, with a high score on the Brix sweetness scale and a good mix of solids and gels in each little ¼-ounce fruit. This tomato actually tastes better than it looks—and that's saying a lot, because that dark, nutrition-packed red color is pretty attractive.

Elfin
Elfin Tomato Elfin tomato is a rare cherry tear-shaped tomato. It has lovely favor and a nice shape that is different from a pear or a grape.
Orange Icicle
Sweet, rich and flavorful with strong citrus overtones make this a favorite eating variety last season. We just can not get enough of the sweet, luscious, glowing orange icicle-like fruit that is like an extra long paste tomato. This variety also makes a lovely orange ketchup and a superb salsa. It was a definite winner, and plants were quite productive. In our opinion, this is some of the Ukraine’s finest tomato breeding. Fruit has relatively few seeds.
