What is an Heirloom Tomato?Heirloom tomato plants are simply delicious, juicy tomatoes that are easy to grow and should be a part of any tomato garden. If you have shopped at a local farmers market recently you have probably seen or purchased heirloom tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes are often easy to recognize with their unique shapes and colors ranging from lemon yellow tomatoes, to green striped varieties such as Green Zebra. Heirloom tomatoes are generally considered to be any tomato plant variety that is open-pollinated and therefore not a hybrid tomato variety. Tomato plants that are heirloom are sometimes also referred to as 'heritage tomatoes'.

Heirloom tomatoes are popular with home gardeners, organic farmers and market farmers for their wide palette of flavors, colors and textures. In addition to providing a wide mixture of tastes and textures, every heirloom tomato plant variety is genetically unique and inherent in this uniqueness is an evolved resistance to pests and diseases and an adaptation to specific growing conditions and climates.
More and more home gardeners with organic tomato gardens are including heirloom tomato plants in their tomato plant mix to add variety, color and diversity to their vegetable harvest. Since heirloom tomatoes are typically not uniform in shape and size, you will probably not find heirloom tomatoes at your standard grocery store but organic food stores such as Whole Foods often stock a nice selection of heirloom tomatoes when in season.
When growing your own heirloom tomatoes consider growing your tomato plants organically. Growing an organic tomato garden is easy and rewarding. The first step towards growing organic heirloom tomatoes is to start with with either certified organic non-gmo heirloom tomato seeds or to purchase certified organic heirloom tomato plants. Organic heirloom tomato plants are easy to grow once the seeds have germinated.
