Costoluto Genovese
A unique heirloom uncovered through our seed donation program, this wonderful beefsteak has a rich story and flavour.
Nonna Peppina's
The oldest tomato in cultivation yet still one of the most popular, this was the winner in the staff beefsteak taste test.
Barry's Crazy Cherry
Profuse (really – crazy!) clusters of yellow fruit that change in flavour from tart to sweet as they ripen. Simply delicious.
