AT THE TOMATOE STORE WE HAVE BEEN GROWING AND SELLING OUR OWN HEIRLOOM TOMATOES FOR 15 YEARS. WE GROW EVERYTHING ON OUR 50 ACRE FARM IN FLORIDA AND PROVIDE OUR LOCAL MARKETS WITH GREAT TASTING PRODUCE. WE GROW IN A SIMPLE SYSTEM THAT USES PERLITE GROW BAGS AND OUR OWN BLEND OF FERTILIZER. WE SPECIALIZE IN HEIRLOOM TOMATOES, BUT GROW A WIDE VARIETY OF VEGETABLES AND GREENS. WE BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE WHOLE GROWING PROCESS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. WE GROW THE HEIRLOOM VARIETIES BECAUSE THEY ARE UNUSUAL IN COLOR AND APPEARANCE AND TASTE SO GOOD. HEIRLOOM VARIETIES ARE JUST LIKE YOUR GRANDMOTHERS GARDEN AND ARE NOT GMO MODIFIED
