Kentucky Beefsteak Tomato Seeds (Indeterminate)
★ Organically grown on our farm
The Kentucky Beefsteak tomato is a true gem for gardeners and culinary enthusiasts alike. Renowned for its beautiful golden yellow hue, this variety not only adds a splash of vibrant color to your garden but also delivers a meaty, full-bodied tomato flavor reminiscent of traditional heirloom varieties. The fruit typically reaches the size of a baseball, making it substantial enough to be the star of any dish while still being manageable in size.
These tomatoes grow on indeterminate vines, which means they will continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season until frost. This characteristic ensures a steady supply of delicious tomatoes, but it also means that the plants will require sturdy support to handle the weight of the fruit, which can range from 8 ounces to a full pound. Proper staking or caging will help maintain the health of the vines and optimize yield.

How to Save Seeds
Tomatoes are self pollinating, so separate by 50ft is sufficient. Harvest tomatoes when ripe and you can even let them set for a week or so before saving seeds. Once you are ready to harvest simply cut in half scoop out seeds and pulp into a mason jar of water for fermenting. Then seal jar with a lid and place in and warm place out of direct sunlight. After 5 to 7 days of fermenting pour out seeds floating on top of the water along with mold and then pour rest of the good seeds, on the bottom, over a fine mess strainer to catch them. Dry well in fine mesh or paper towels but turn often so they don't stick to paper.
