Welcome
Back in 1990 my dad came back to his birth and homeplace to take care of his ailing sister and ageing mother. Though the heart break and turmoil he was able to fine peace and solace in the old garden out back that once grew the vegetables of his youth. He remembered a tomato his mother used to grow "The Sioux" and set out to re-create the flavor he remembered so clearly. To his surprise he had a difficult time finding this Sioux tomato seed. The quest for this one type of tomato became his mission and what we lovingly refer to his out of control "hobby". For 15 years now Dad has been preserving and selling over 70 types of heirloom tomato plants and yes, this does include the Sioux tomato. He has even created some new varieties that will just knock your socks off like the Yellow 1884 Pink Heart and the Royal Hillbilly. His passion has expanded to unique pepper plants, eggplant and heritage flowers. All open pollinated. He has created quite a name for himself and I, his daughter have benefited greatly from his undying passion of these old time varieties.Sadly in the fall of 2006 dad was diagnosed with Cancer, its been a difficult process and we've both tried to keep our chins up. Through this tough time I have taken the torch and am continuing the Tomato Man's tradition. Dad has been real happy I have taken such an interest and passion in his work and he's still good at giving his two cents. We both hope you will come to love these old time tomatoes as we do. Please visit us during the month of April and May. We're never short of advise and gardening tips and will help you find the plants that best fit your needs.Sincerely,

Our Heirloom Plant Nursery
Mother nature dictates our sales season. This year we opened a week earlier than anticipated because of mild temperatures. As a result, the plants matured quickly and forced us to close a week earlier than scheduled.
We have always held true to offering you the best plants possible so we hope you understand our decision.
Next Opening Date
Mid-July
Yes, right when it is getting good and hot it is time to set out your fall crop of tomato plants!
