Fred Tomato Seeds
$3.00
This is an heirloom to our rescue program. The tomato came from a fellow farmer at the Columbia Farmers Market. It is his family’s heirloom tomato from the Mid-Missouri Glasgow area. The tomato is larger than a normal plum tomato that is good for canning and cooking as well as eating fresh. The Fred is a weird plant that has really small leaves and lanky limbs. The tomatoes take a while to come in, and they are really large.
The Fred was named after the Missouri Extension Agent that developed the tomato in the ’50s adapting it to Missouri. We are the only known source for these seeds.
These seeds have a lower germination rate and each tomato has very few seeds. So there are only 12 seeds per pack.

Why Our Seeds Are Different
Locally Adjusted Heirlooms
All our seeds are heirlooms that are proven to be successful and stable for long term seed independence. We believe that fertile seeds produce more healthy food. We save local family heirlooms from extinction bringing these hardy cultivars to the seed banks, the marketplace and people’s tables.
Local Small Business
We are a homegrown seed and plant company with a suburban farm. We use urban sustainable agriculture with organic materials and no pesticides. We grow the plants and save the seeds, herbs, and fruit. We make our own packaging and sell it at the local farmers’ market.
Home Made Products
We make our own ointments and teas from scratch. We grow some of the ingredients ourselves and source what we can locally. We believe in the power of nature to help heal, soothe, and comfort. Try our teas for a lovely relaxing treat or our ointments to help with inflammation, pain, and skin conditions.
