What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow one of the most beloved saucing tomatoes with Amish Paste Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Originating from Amish communities, this indeterminate heirloom produces large, plum-shaped fruits that typically reach 8–12 ounces. The tomatoes are dense, richly flavored, and versatile—excellent for long-simmered sauces, hearty pastes, or fresh garden eating. Recognized as a Slow Food USA Ark of Taste variety, Amish Paste represents an important culinary tradition worth preserving in home gardens.

Rich Flavor, Dense Flesh, and Heritage Value:
Amish Paste tomatoes are known for their meaty texture and balanced, full flavor. Their substantial size and low water content make them especially well suited to canning, roasting, and slow cooking. Planting this variety helps continue a heritage food with deep cultural roots while giving your kitchen a reliable, multipurpose tomato.

Why Customers Love Amish Paste Tomatoes:

  • Large 8–12 oz plum-shaped fruits ideal for sauces, pastes, and canning
  • Indeterminate heirloom that produces steadily throughout the season
  • Dense, rich flesh with excellent depth of flavor
  • Excellent for fresh eating, roasting, or homemade purees
  • A Slow Food Ark of Taste variety valued for its cultural and culinary significance

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your final frost date. Transplant outdoors once nights are consistently warm, providing strong support for the vigorous indeterminate vines. Grow in full sun with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and water deeply to encourage steady production. Prune lightly and maintain airflow to keep plants healthy through the long growing season.

Harvest & Use:
Pick fruits when they achieve a deep red color and feel firm yet slightly soft to the touch. Use fresh in salads and sandwiches, or turn your harvest into thick sauces, pastes, roasted tomatoes, or freezer-friendly batches of tomato puree. This variety is ideal for both short-term kitchen use and long-term preservation.
