Broomcorn is grown mainly in Africa and Asia for its edible grains, as a cereal. This variety grows shiny grains of varied hues, going from beiges to browns, reds, and blacks, making it a great plant for ornamental purposes. On top of that, once the grains have been harvested, the remaining stems can be combined to form a compostable broom.

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.

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.

This tomato dates back to 1869 according to some sources. It is an Italian tomato with a very soft taste and only little juice. Large productive plants, bearing 4 to 5 fruits per truss. The tomatoes themselves have a funny shape and a light yellow color, with just a dash pink blush. Ideal for tomato paste, sauces and canning.

This variety comes from Laos, as the name suggests. Its color is somewhere between white and translucent white. With this variety, harvest gets off to a flying start; we had buckets and buckets of this tomato! Its taste is mild and sweet, its size average, and the shape slightly flattened. We've been bewitched, and will definitely be growing it again!

Determinate.
Plant approximately 1 meter tall. Round fruits with a diameter of approximately 8 cm. Rare tomato variety. Firm flesh with an exquisite taste. All red tomatoes wish they were Plourde.
Grown since 1925 in Saint-Alexandre de Kamouraska, Quebec, by Aurélius Plourde and his family. Handed to Jeannot Pelletier and then to René Paquet. The latter cultivated and selected it before introducing it in Seeds of Diversity Catalog. According to the man who saved this Quebec heirloom : « The Plourde is an old beauty who forgot its own identity ».
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.

In 1995, a carpenter found a bag of about 200 seeds in the attic of an abandoned house, where no one had lived for several years already, in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce. The neighbors claimed that this house hadn't had any garden in well over 60 years. Mrs. Gérard Parent, to whom they were given, tried to get them to grow; only three germinated. From those three initial plants originate all the current Mémé de Beauce plants found in Quebec.

This yellow tomato comes from a friend's uncle, named Tom (as you might have guessed), whose family had been growing it for several years already. Tom sadly passed away, and we decided to adopt the variety which would otherwise have disappeared. What a nice addition to our garden these gorgeous, sunny, juicy, and tasty tomatoes make! At its heyday between two slices of bread.

Indeterminate.
Never did I see it with my own eyes, but it is said there is a striking similarity between this tomato and the animal anatomy.
This middle-sized beefsteak tomato has a rich taste, and a right balance between juice and 'meat'. The latter resembles the flesh of the Oxheart tomato. We're in for plays on words with this one.
