Goldie Tomato | Solanum lycopersicum | Certified Organic
Dense, full flavoured fruits are a must for the tomato connoisseur.
Goldie tomatoes take shape in the sensuous days of summer. Sexier than a vintage pin-up girl, these golden fruits balance full-bodied beauty, poised grace, and pure sweetness. But gardening is more than a beauty contest. With a tender and radiant glow, inner nutritive richness, complex flavor profile, and a robust inner depth, these radiant fruits are the perfect modern-day models to represent the best of heirloom tomatoes. The plants produce substantial slicing tomatoes that only split when you slice them. Goldie is timeless and tasty: its rich yellow flesh is super sweet.

About Hudson Valley Seed Company
They are a values-driven seed company that practices and celebrates responsible seed production and stewardship. Hudson Valley are best known for their beautiful artist-design seed packs (Art Packs) that appeal to gardeners, gift buyers, and lovers of art and nature.
These Art Packs, most fundamentally, tell stories. Hudson Valley challenges artists to convey in a manner that is fully their own, the history and meaning of the seed variety contained in each pack. These stories were once integral to traditional societies-stories of seeds were often origin stories for entire communities and peoples, and the lore and beliefs that accumulated around seed varieties reflected the nearly familial way in which gardeners and farmers regarded their crops. Our society is, by and large, no longer connected to plants this way. But we like to think these Art Packs help to stitch our fragmented world back together: useful seeds, evocative art, both equally valuable to our experience of being human.
