Amish Paste Tomato

Type: Heirloom, Open-Pollinated
Growth Habit: Indeterminate
Seed Packet Size: Minimum 10 seeds

Amish Paste is one of the finest heirloom paste tomatoes for home gardeners who love making homemade salsa, pasta sauce, tomato soup, and canning. Dating back to the Amish communities of the late 1800s, this treasured variety produces large, meaty, bright red fruits with thick flesh, very few seeds, and an outstanding rich tomato flavor. Unlike many paste tomatoes, Amish Paste is also delicious sliced fresh on sandwiches, salads, and burgers.

The vigorous indeterminate plants continue producing throughout the growing season, yielding heavy crops of large, plum-to-oxheart-shaped tomatoes that commonly weigh 8–12 ounces. Their low seed count and dense flesh make them ideal for cooking while still offering excellent fresh eating quality.

Planting Tips:

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures remain above 50°F. Plant deeply, burying part of the stem to encourage a strong root system. Support plants with sturdy cages or stakes, as the heavy fruit benefits from extra support. Water consistently to help prevent fruit cracking and promote healthy growth.
