Homestead

The Homestead tomato is one of the heirloom varieties that we at the Rusty Hoe practice seed stock saving with. We've grown these beautiful tomatoes from our own saved seeds for over four years now, with consistent large crops. 

Homestead are an extremely heat-tolerant, heirloom variety developed by the University of Florida and released in the 1950s. Will set fruit in high-heat, high-humidity areas making them a perfect choice for Zone 7, Arkansas gardeners. 

Being a determinate variety, unlike other commercial nurseries and retailers, we at the Rusty Hoe do not keep these plants on the shelves after the first bloom-set. We continue to seed and grow new plants throughout the growing season, so you always get plants well ahead of that first bloom-set.
