    Old-World Tomatoes - Naturally Grown

    Waiting for the Cherokee Purple tomato to begin to blush into its deep, dusky purple, surrounded with freshly picked dahlia and zinnias.

    We specialise in preserving the richness of old-world tomatoes, offering seasonal tips, natural growing methods, and companion planting guides to help your garden thrive, all without the use of herbicides or pesticides.

    The Search for Flavour Continues

    I'll continue searching for bold, juicy beefsteaks and delightful cherry heirlooms. But right now, one seed has my full attention: Moonglow. Not very common, but exceptional, and when grown to full potential, a true show stopper.

    Moonglow can get large when grown in the right conditions, it also keep well on the shelf, flavour is magnificent.

    Looking for a heavy cropper? Oaxacan is a standout, a generous yielder that proved remarkably drought tolerant in Northland growing conditions through the 2024 season.

    This heirloom Oaxacan was grown by Piata in a place called Whirinaki, she is truly an amazing gardener, I had no idea just how abundant this variety really was.

    Or how about a heavy cropping, low acid, fantastic sauce making heirloom tomato? The gorgeous San Marzano.
