A seed collection built around flavour and character
Our goal is not uniform supermarket produce. We select and continue varieties because they smell, taste, look and grow differently.
Non-hybrid and seed-saving
Our collection is made up of non-hybrid varieties from which seed can be saved again. We have been continuing many of these lines from our own growing for around five years.
Why colour does not mean “artificial”
Tomatoes are not naturally limited to red and pink. Yellow, white, purple, dark, striped and bi-colour varieties occur because of their genetics. Unusual colour does not automatically mean that a variety is artificial or chemically produced.
Flavour comes first
Blue Beauty impressed us with its thin skin and strong tomato aroma. Chocolate Stripes has a more acidic, tangy character. White Queen is pale, large and highly productive. Dark varieties such as Indigo Rose and the Black series are visually striking, while prolific cherry types are especially enjoyable for small-space growers.
How parent plants are grown
We do not use chemical fertiliser on our parent plants. We mainly use pigeon manure and, to a lesser extent, other animal manures as part of our growing approach.
