Ancient cherry tomato. Very hardy and productive. The fruits are oval-shaped, 4-5 cm by 2 cm. The skin is black, and the flesh dark red. It is used for making dried tomatoes, sauces, or simply in salads.
Originally from a russian seed saver, Marina Danilenko. It was first introduced to Seed Savers (U.S.), and then made its way to Quebec.

This tomato variety was developed in the early 50s by the geneticist and profesor Joseph-O Vandal. He worked for the Laval University for over 30 years, and created several horticultural varieties adapted to our climate. Quebec #13 tomatoes are vigorous and give average-sized dark red fruits early in the season. This tomato has an exceptional taste, very few seeds, and a thin skin which is easy to peel off. This variety must be eaten in the days following harvest as it doesn't keep as well as store-bought tomatoes.

The Red Fig tomato is an heirloom variety from Philadelphia, dating back to 1805. The tomatoes were traditionally dehydrated to be kept all year long, and eaten as little figs during the winter, hence the name. The fruits are sweet, pear-shaped, and measure about 1 1/2 inch.

The Corne de bouc tomato gives long, cylindrical with a curved pointy tip red fruits. This variety is probably our favorite in terms of taste: sweet and fragrant, it is absolutely DE-LI-CIOUS!
This variety was given to us by Philippe, who used to work next to our farm. A special thanks to him. A perfect choice for your salads, sandwiches and sauces. The fruits contain few seeds, yet it is a productive variety.

At a Seedy Saturday in 2016, a lady came up to me and told me that her mother-in-law had a tomato variety called Mon Plaisir that stopped being available in seed catalogues for ages, but that she keeps growing year after year. We chat a bit and exchange contact informations. I end up forgetting about it until, a few months later, I receive a letter in the mail. Inside, a beautiful card containing a paper on which a dozen seeds were attached. The seeds of the lost Mon Plaisir tomato. This is what Mrs. Frappier told me when I reached out to her, after receiving her letter:
"We use to order our seeds through the WHPerron catalogue, and another company. I think it was called Norseco. We were growing tomatoes in greenhouses in Abitibi, in Matamic close to Lasarre. It was the Frappier greenhouses (serres Frappier) in 1976. We grow a couple seedlings to sell, but it was mostly for vegetable production. I really like those tomatoes, they would make nice long cherry tomato trusses. We stopped producing in the early 2000s, and I had already been saving my own seeds for about 20 to 25 years because we couldn't find the variety in catalogues anymore. I really couldn't find it anywhere. I think it was replaced by either Sweet 100 or Sweet mignonne. I did taste it, but I definitely prefer Mon Plaisir." (Free translation)
It is now our turn to share this discovery with you. A huge thanks to the Frappier family for preserving this variety.

Determinate.
This Italian variety gives plenty of long yellow fruits, very sweet but not too juicy. Perfect for sauces and canning. Do not let its funny name scare you.

This dark pink tomato comes from the Lower Saint-Lawrence, more specifically from Rivière-du-Loup. The seeds come from Mrs. Francine Mailloux. She gifted some to René Paquet, who gave them to Michel Richard (Potager d'Antan), who then handed them to me. It is now our turn to share them with you!
René describes this tomato as hefty and says that the indeterminate plant will have high yields of pink-fleshed red-skinned fruits. They will usually weight between 400 and 850 grams, but could be even heavier in some cases.

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.
