Welcome to the tomato revolution! We bred ‘Groundswell’, the first-ever garden-sown tomato, to save you time and avoid transplant shock. Our new large slicer ripens as early as all other slicer types on healthy, high yielding plants. Look forward to a long season of sizable, broad-shouldered fruits suffused with heirloom fragrance and flavor. Versatile tomato offers up savory, smooth, meaty flesh for sandwiches, burgers, or full-sliced in salads.
