Our family farm is celebrating 50 years in 2024. Our farm is on the Missouri Arkansas line. We raise hogs, cattle, chickens and goats. We grow all our own vegetables and can extensively. I guess my claim to fame, locally that is :lol: is I have continued to grow my Grandpas tomatoes for the past 26 years. It is a beefsteak variety, pinkish/red and produces very well in the heat and produces large fruits. I recall the seeds were brought from West Virginia to Caney, Ks where my grandpas grandparents settled in the late 1800's. I am hoping to save alot more seeds this year and hope to share next fall.

Hello and welcome to the Junction @hillbillygardner. Your farm sounds amazing and I can't wait to hear more about the way that you do things there. I'm sure that your Grandpa's tomatoes will be very well received and it will be fun for you to see just how fast they can be shared and grown across the world by sharing a few packs of them here.
