Heirloom Tomatoes

Heirloom tomatoes are a non-hybrid variety of tomato. They come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. They are also known as ugly tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes have a shorter shelf life, are more fragile, and are less disease resistant than most tomatoes making them harder to grow and more expensive to purchase.
