There are a lot of folks out there who feel that if it ain’t red, it ain’t a tomato. I’m here to tell you that they’ve missed the boat! if you’ve never tasted a golden yellow with a red blush or a dark pink tomato with light green stripes, you really need to.

Today, I am going to discuss some of my more uniquely colored tomatoes.

Brandy Boy is a gorgeous, dark pink, beefsteak. It can reach up to 5″ across and has the wonderful texture and flavor of a Brandywine tomato. Improved disease resistance, indeterminate

Copia is another beautiful tomato with great taste. It is a golden yellow with red stripes. This is a stabilized cross between Green Zebra and Marvel Stripe. Sweet, juicy flesh, they can weigh up to a pound.

Roman Candle is a lovely, bright yellow paste tomato with light green stripes. When you pluck it from the vine, it shines like a star. Very easy to pick. It makes the most beautiful soup and looks great in salsas and salads.

Janet’s Jewel from Wild Boar Farms is a stunning, large, bright orange striped beefsteak. It is very meaty and tasty, sweet with some fruity notes, and has great production. As you know, striped and tomatoes with a blush of some kind are my favorites.

Beauty King A striking with its base color of yellow and orange and stripes of red. Another Wild Boar introduction. This variety is likely the result of a cross between Big Rainbow and Green Zebra. Large, bi-color fruits; yellow with red stripes outside and red streaks inside. Very meaty fruits have an excellent, sweet tomato flavor

Solar Flare This 6-10 oz. beefsteak is red with gold stripes and has very meaty flesh with sweet tomato flavor. Developed by Brad Gates (Wild Boar Farms) and selected for flavor, production, increased earliness and scab resistance.

These are just a few of the ones I carry. If you asked me what my favorite tomato was, it certainly wouldn’t be red!
