This variety bears large red fruits, which can range in weight from 1.5 to 2 pounds (!!!) and have an irregular shape just like Mémé de Beauce. Their flesh is a pinkish red and is juicy and with a delicious well-balanced taste.
The seeds of this variety were sent to us by Mrs. Jacinthe Roy. Her neighbor, Mrs. Pierette Latreille-Binette (born in 1934 and therefore 85 years old in 2020) couldn't tend to her garden anymore as she was starting to have less energy. Pierette gave the seeds to Jacinthe, telling her how this variety had been grown from generation to generation by the family's women, in the family garden. It was their pride, and they took great care in saving the seeds from the nicest and biggest tomatoes from year to year. As there was no one left in the family able to keep the tradition going, we are taking over and sharing this variety with all of you to keep it alive.
Mrs. Latreille-Binette got her seeds directly from her mother, Mrs. Marie-Rose Lefebvre (born in 1895, died in 1995), who obtained them from the mother of her mother, Mrs. Agnès Castonguay (1860-1948). And guess what, she also got them from her own mother. Tomatoes were first introduced in Quebec around 1860, so this variety is probably a direct descendant of the first tomatoes that landed on Quebec dining tables. Originally, tomatoes come from Central America.
Please note that this variety shows some variability in terms of color: sometimes the skin is pink, somethimes it is red. You are encouraged to start saving the seeds of the best tomatoes by your own standards, and keep the selection going!

We know very little about this tomato aside from the fact it is from the province of Quebec. It is a potato leaf type of tomato, which means the leaves are a bit different from most tomatoes and look more like potato leaves. It is a beeksteak variety; the fruits have generous, dense, and sweet dark pink flesh and contain few seeds. A single slice if enough for a sandwich. Very productive variety that will for sure give you a highly satisfying harvest.

Pink Canabec tomatoes give pink, round, middle-sized fruits. This tomato was developped in 1975 by the agronomist Robert Doucet at the Saint-Hyacinthe Agriculture Research Center. It was created specially to suit Quebec regions' climate. It is therefore a productive, early-yielding variety that's quite compact for an indeterminate tomato.

Plant approximately 2 to 2,5 meters tall. Fruits weigh between 180 and 300 grams and have a diameter of approximately 10 cm. Smooth red-rose skin, sweet and juicy flesh. Performs well in cool climates and short seasons. Discovered in the 1930s in the Joliette area by a farmer named Dufresne. It was given to Armand Savignac of the Clerics of Saint Viator. Due to chronic digestive disorders and a rare malformation, Savignac became a vegetarian and began to grow vegetables. Among different varieties cultivated in his garden was the Savignac tomato.
