Interesting list. The variety Golden Green looks appealing, but I could not find a seed source.

Call or email Gary Ibsen and ask if he has any that he would part with.

I'm pretty sure it's Golden Queen which Tomatofest carries because I tried to research it myself. I have most of the tomatoes on their list as well as several new selections made by HFCRT that aren't available here. I'll be growing several this season.

UPDATE: I wrote to Gary Ibsen again and this time he replied that the did in fact sell "Golden Green" at one point and described it as a green to gold medium sized fruit. I'd really like to track down some seeds if anyone has them. I did a trade for some a few years ago and the plant that grew out was a red grape-like tomato. Maybe I'll try those seeds again and perhaps some won't be crossed.
