Our locally raised tomato plants are immensely popular and eagerly awaited each spring! Why do they outperform others? One reason is all the tender love and care they get. But the thing that gives them the edge is that they are grown right here, not in a nursery from warmer climes just to get the shock of their lives when they arrive in cold, old Ballarat! Our plants are fully acclimatised. And don't forget, all our tomatoes are open-pollinated; with these plants you can save the seed for future generations.
Free delivery to within the city limits of Ballarat, Buninyong, and Creswick. Read about our varieties below and make your selection in the drop-down menu above.
