Heirloom Tomatoes are varieties that have been passed down through generations, typically because of their unique qualities, such as flavor, color, or shape. These tomatoes are open-pollinated, meaning they’re pollinated naturally by insects, wind, or birds, and they produce seeds that will grow true to type, unlike hybrid tomatoes.

Heirloom tomatoes are often known for their exceptional taste, which can range from sweet to tangy, and they come in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, orange, green, purple, and even striped varieties.
