Heirloom tomatoes

We have Australia's tastiest and most delicious tomatoes. You will never find these heirloom varieties in a supermarket. They come in a range of nine colours other than red!

Precious melons

The Moon and Stars watermelon is the poster child of the heirloom seed movement. Its buttery moons and constellations of stars are awe-inspiring. Unique among watermelons, both foliage and fruit are decorated with heavenly bodies.
