★ Organically grown on our farm
Stupice tomatoes are a beloved heirloom variety known for their early ripening and exceptional flavor. Originating from the Czech Republic, Stupice tomatoes are particularly prized by gardeners and farmers for their ability to thrive in cooler climates and shorter growing seasons. These determinate plants typically produce small to medium-sized fruits that are bright red and round, with a slightly tart yet sweet taste that makes them perfect for fresh eating, salads, and even sauces.
One of the standout features of Stupice tomatoes is their resilience and adaptability. They are known to perform well in a variety of soil types and can withstand temperatures that might challenge other tomato varieties. This hardiness, combined with their early harvest time—often as soon as 55-70 days from transplanting—makes them a popular choice for those looking to enjoy garden-fresh tomatoes as soon as possible. Gardeners also appreciate the plant's compact growth habit, which makes it suitable for small gardens or even container growing.

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.
