The most intense sweet tomato flavor we have ever tasted!!!
On November 1st we will be selling seeds for Tim's Taste of Paradise. It has been in the works for many many years . This variety has not only exceptional flavor, but an amazing history. Developed in the late 1990s by the brilliant plant breeder Tim Peters and released as the experimental variety "Fruity Mix", it was nearly lost to the world when Tim shuttered his business in the early 2000s. This would have been a HUGE loss - its unique flavor, sweet and intensely fruity, has that elusive flavor described as "umami" by top chefs. People who have tasted it prefer it to Sungold, hands down! It is the result of crossing dozens of wild species into domestic tomatoes, and could never be reproduced with more conventional breeding.
Fortunately, in 2018, tomato aficionado Tien Chiu rediscovered a 17-year-old seed packet, preserved by botanists Rob Ferber and Linda Maepa of Little Grove Farms, and managed to grow out just three plants from the ancient seeds. Wild Boar Farms has further developed, stabilized, and refined the variety, and is now releasing it as Tim's Taste of Paradise.
This is the perfect tomato for home growers, with excellent vigor and great productivity. The only downside is that you won’t be able to resist them, so very few of the tomatoes will make it into the house!
These cherry tomatoes are on the small side, so market gardeners may need to charge a premium to make them profitable. But once they taste them, customers will become addicted!
