Default Visitation Valley Tomato.....anyone grow this one?

I got this variety on our camping trip we are on up the Pacific Northwest in Port Townsend, Wa. It claims to be the earliest one of all bred for cooler coastal climates. Im wondering if it is really as early as it says it is and how it grew for anyone who grew it. Sounds like it could be the same variety as San Francisco Fog but not sure. Thanks in advance.

Never heard of it, but what a nice find on your vacation! Is there a seed company on the packet? I found some unusual non-tomato "healthy" seeds at a new chain supermarket, Fresh Thyme. Shows how this group is always on the lookout no mater where we are.

Yes,I've grown it,many years ago as you can see from this link.

I certainly don't agree with Tania's praise for it,and I'd chuckle to myself and say that it reminds me of a cemetery that one might visist.

By all means grow it yourself and see what you think of it.
