8 paste & plum varieties to choose from: Amish Paste, Black Plum, Cream Sausage, Jersey Devil, Orange Icicle, Roma VF Virginia Select (determinate), San Marzano, Speckled Roman

These Paste & Plum tomatoes are selected for their low seed count and moisture, their meatiness, ease of peeling and roasting, heartiness on the vine. For best all around tomato at Poe Run, Amish Paste can’t be beat. But we’re looking forward to growing the Roma VF Virginia Select this year, a promising canning, sauce, and salad tomato. The Jersey Devil was 2021 best in show at Poe Run. These tomatoes have very little moisture with maximum flavor, they peel great, and are so meaty, with a beautiful color.

Seasonal availability, like when you’re planting your garden in late May-early June (West Virginia). We grow heirloom tomatoes as a way to keep these classics alive.

*Determinate plants are bush shape, no pruning required. All tomato plants will make fruit when grown in a pot! The bigger the pot the bigger your plant. Indeterminate tomato plants will grow into long vines 6-8 feet in length. Pruning and staking helps support the plant and grow healthy tomatoes.
