Early, Single-Crop Determinates

[Nan_PA_6b]

I'm thinking of adding an early, single-crop determinate next year to kick-start my tomato processing. Something that will produce and get out of the way before the indets turn into monsters. I'm going for tonnage so something larger than 4 oz fruit is best. As far as taste goes, we like them fairly intense. Something that tastes comparable to Early Girl is fine; I can get a good sauce or soup from such a one.

Any suggestions?

Also, I'm considering these, but don't know if they are single croppers, does anyone know:

Aurora
Bush Early Girl II f1
dwarf arctic rose
EM champion
Legend
Mountain Glory f1
Odessa

Thanks in advance,
Nan

I have grown Legend few times. It is not early.
I recommend Siletz . It is early , compact and has fruit size of about 6 oz.

Another one is Silvery Fir Tree. It is even earlier than Siletz with the same fruit size but on the acidic side. And it is even more compact and prolific.

Do Siletz and SFT set their fruit all at once?

I second the recommendations of SFT and Siletz. Siletz does set everything at once usually for me, SFT takes few weeks to be done but is tastier in my opinion. I also like Willamette and Taxi (if you would like a yellow one).
