Known for their dense flesh, minimal seeds, and rich flavor, these classic varieties are ideal for tomato paste, sauces, salsa, and long-term preserving.

Together, they form a reliable foundation for gardeners who enjoy cooking, canning, or stocking their pantry with homegrown staples.

  • Classic San Marzano tomatoes are a staple of Italian cooking
  • Provides long-lasting pantry value through canning and preserving

Included Varieties

Roma:
Grown for its rich, concentrated flavor and firm, low-moisture flesh. Fruits grow to about 3 inches long, making them perfect for paste, sauces, and canning. Compact and productive vines adapt well to container gardening.

San Marzano:
A world-renowned Italian paste tomato with 5–6 ounce fruits, meaty walls, and very few seeds. Ideal for spaghetti sauce, lasagna, pizza sauce, and slow-simmered dishes. Vigorous plants produce reliably throughout the season.

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors after hardening off and once temperatures remain warm. Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Provide support for San Marzano’s vigorous vines and allow Roma’s compact plants to grow freely or with light staking. Water consistently for best fruit quality. Each packet includes detailed instructions on germination, care, and seed saving.

High Yields & Easy to Grow

Growing heirloom tomatoes has several benefits. They offer unique and diverse flavors that are often different from standard hybrid varieties. Heirloom tomatoes have more genetic diversity, making them adaptable to different growing conditions and more resilient to pests and diseases. By growing heirloom tomatoes, you are helping to preserve traditional agricultural practices and biodiversity, which is important for sustainability and maintaining our food heritage.

All of these varieties are excellent to eat fresh from the vine. These tomatoes can also be turned into sauce or canned for long-term storage
