2013 Grow List

newtraditionsfarm · December 28, 2012

Hi Folks,

These tomatoes will be for a 50 person CSA program + two weekly farmer's markets. The early determinate varieties will be placed in 7-10 gallon grow bags and placed in the hoop-house for an early crop. 200-300 tomatoes will be placed in a 40' x 100' unheated hoop house for a main season crop. The remainder will be field planted on large pieces of landscaping fabric (15' x 300').

Here's what I've got so far (there are several redundancies, mostly for the sake of trialing certain varieties):

Cherries:
Black Cherry
Green Zebra Cherry
BHN 624
Juliet
Sweet Chelsea VFNT
Sweet Million FNT
Jolly
Sun Sugar FT
Golden Rave

Hybrid Red's
Big Beef
Royesta FFNT
BHN 826
BHN 589
Better Bush VFN
Early Girl VFF Improved
Beefmaster VFN
Mountain Spring

Pinks
Krypni-Rozo

OP Red's
Druzba
Costoluto Genovese

Small Fruited:
Matina
Flamme
Kimberly
Mountain Magic F1
Principe Borghese

Orange / Yellow:
Orange Russian 117
KBX
Jubilee
BHN 871
Mountain Gold VFF
Azoychka
Lemon Boy VFN

Black
Nyagous
Paul Robeson

Green
Green Zebra

Paste
Yaqui
Granadero
Opalka

Let me know what you think! I'd welcome any suggestions. I'm strictly looking for 'bullet proof' varieties with good vigor, production, disease resistance and holding power. I've grown some amazing tomatoes over the years, but they don't mean anything to our customers if they don't make a successful journey to the market / csa boxes!

Thanks,
Josh @ New Traditions Farm
