Organic Tomatoes
What is an organic tomato ?
A tomato vine that has been grown without the use of harmful chemicals or additives is considered an organic tomato. Organic foods are becoming increasingly popular.
Historically tomatoes have been harvested for centuries. The earliest records of tomatoes
in Europe date back to 1544. One thing most growers can agree on is that Organic Tomatoes taste sweeter, grow larger and are healthier for you than chemical treated field grown varieties.

Home and commercial tomato growers are planting several different varieties for different times of the season as well as for different purposes. It seems as though every one has their favorite variety for sandwiches, one for soups, another for sauces and yet another for salads. Many Organic heirloom tomato seeds are now available and affordable. There have been so many hybrids down through the years, tomatoes have been bred for longer shelf life instead for their original juicy taste. If you want to experience the authentic taste of a tomato, try an Organic tomato variety.
