Here are the variety of plants we will have available:
 

Tomatoes

Burbank Slicing

“Developed by Luther Burbank around 1915. Determinate and fairly early, Burbank Slicing is a heavy yielder of majestic 3–4 inch fruit. The fruit has a very deep red color and a traditional bold tomato flavor. This was the only variety that Mr. Burbank raised for canning. Disease resistant.”

Roma

“An absolutely excellent heirloom tomato—firm, meaty, 3" oblong fruits with few seeds, on compact vines that are very productive. As a determinate type, most of the fruits ripen at the same time, which makes this tomato a good choice for canning.”

Amish Paste

“Amish Paste is large, meaty and high yielding with great texture and flavor. It has very good flavor for a paste tomato.  A very impressive strain that tied for first place in out 2016 Roma / Paste tomato trial with Ropreco paste.  Determinate. “

Chocolate Cherry

“These cherries have an attractive port wine colored flesh and skin with a comparably delicious and multifaceted flavor. The super productive, indeterminate plants produce trusses of 1 inch round fruit. We’ve found them enjoyable when picked several days before they’re fully ripe, then allowed to finish indoors.”

Red or Yellow Pear

"This heirloom blend brings you both red and yellow, firm fruit that can be eaten like grapes all summer long. Sweet, mild flavor and low acidity make these tomatoes traditionally best for pickling and preserves, but they are great for salads and snacking, too. Vigorous vines easily reach 6'."

OSU Blue

"Blue tomatoes are tomatoes that have been bred to produce high levels of antocyans a pigment responsible for the blue and purple color of many fruits including blueberries, blackberries. Anthocyanin has been identified to possess antioxidant properties.The Blue OSU  Tomato is a stunning new variety. An astonishing dark purple tomato coming from the breeding work of Jim Myers from Oregon State University (OSU).Also called- Smurf Tomato, P20 Blue Tomato.  Green fruits turn gradually to dark purple when exposed to sunlight.  The bottom half of the ripe tomatoes then turns red. Medium size, round fruits, about 5 to 7 cm. Pinkish red flesh, with subtle, aromatic and fruity flavor. Not bland. Foliage turns purple under cold conditions.  The taste and quality is excellent. Makes for a great slicer and interesting conversation. "

Cherokee Purple

“Cherokee Purple produces 8-12 oz fruits that are a combination of red, green and purplish brown. It is a highly flavorful heirloom slicer that regularly places at or near the top of taste tests. Medium vigorous vines benefit from trellising, which also helps to ensure that fruit quality is enhanced.  While this variety references a name for the Cherokee Indigenous nation, it turns out that it was named by someone who was not a tribal member, we are still learning about the origins and appropriate way to reference this awesome variety.   Indeterminate.?

 

Peppers

Papkrika (Feher Ozon Paprika)

“Originated in Hungary. All-around excellent paprika pepper for quality and performance. Extremely productive plants produce 3" by 4-5" long fruits that have exceptionally sweet flesh, up to 12 fruits per plant. 80-85 days from transplant. Dry for your own paprika powder!”

Cayenne (Aci Sirvri)

“This wonderful heirloom strain from Turkey is incredibly prolific, producing up to 50 fruits per plant that are about 5-10” long and typically twisty.  Fruits ripen from green to a brilliant shade of red and are larger than traditional cayennes without sacrificing the heat.  Excellent for making attractive ristras.  Very impressive.  Heat can be variable from plant to plant.  10,000-50,000 SHU. “

Lipstick Pimento

“A wonderful variety that produces 6-10, 4” long fruits that taper to a point.  The flavor of the delectably thick, crunchy walls is quite sweet and works equally well in raw dishes or roasted.  Productive even in cooler summer regions.”

Serrano

“Sereno is a serrano-type pepper, and found it in Sureño. If jalapeños aren’t quite spicy enough for you, this tasty pepper is definitely the way to go. The elongated deep green fruit ripen to red at maturity and will reach ½ inch wide and nearly 4 inches long from the top to the blunt tip. Sureño plants are especially robust and produce heavy yields”

Anaheim

“If you like a medium sizzle for your palate, try these peppers. Same as the green Anaheim chilis you find in the grocery store, but better because you’ll get to eat them fresh and full of flavor! Anaheim College 64 yields 6–10 tasty fruit per plant, each 6–8 inches long. The thick-walled conical fruit turn from green to red. Excellent roasted and stuffed or minced into salsa and guacamole.”

Aleppo

“Hailing from Aleppo, Syria, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities (since the 6th century BCE). We are pleased to introduce this heirloom from the old Silk Road and consider our brothers and sisters in Syria whose lives have been disrupted by the civil war there and envision peace prevailing. Although common in the Middle East, its use in the United States outside Armenian, Syrian and Turkish immigrant communities was rare until the 20th century. Typically used dried, its burgundy pods possess a fruity, raisin-like flavor with undertones of cumin. Plants can grow to 4 feet tall, so staking is necessary at times. Fruits are a deep brick red, 4-6” long, with a blunt-lobed tip reminiscent of a bell peppers lobes. 10,000 SHU. HEIRLOOM. DBF”

Charleston Hot Pepper

“Almost as hot as Habaneros! Flavorful ½ x 5 in. fruits; a favorite for hot sauce in the Carolinas. Colorful fruits and the unusual yellow leaves make this an interesting ornamental. Very good nematode resistance. 30-36 in. plants.”

Sugar Rush Peach

“We’ve heard a lot about this pepper over the past couple years. An aji type bred in the epicenter of chili biodiversity…Wales (!), sugar rush has garnered a strong following for its beautiful color, spicy but manageable heat, and most notably its very sweet and citrusy flesh. Plants can grow 4-5’ and while slow to color, are extremely productive. Like many of the baccatum species peppers, they require a longer season, but we’ve found Sugar Rush Peach to mature in an average PNW season (whatever that is anymore). They’d benefit from space in the greenhouse in cooler areas. The sweet flesh brings a unique dimension to hot sauces and spicy ferments.”

Corno Di Toro

“Horn of the Bull” thick bull’s horn type, extremely productive, plants will produce so much fruit that the plants can use a good staking! Great flavor, beautiful vigorous plants. Good pepper for frying and cooking.”
