Homestead tomatoes were developed to fulfill the demand for a wilt and crack resistant shipping tomato. This variety comes from the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station and the Southeastern Breeding Laboratory, who released it in 1952.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”
