The flavor of this variety has low acidity and just a very smooth flavorโ€ฆgreat for slicing, salads and cooking. Very happy with all aspects of the Willamette tomato!

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… My favorite tomato for 30 years
By Nancy Collver on March 3, 2014

I first grew these as the main tomato in my garden in 1981. I have loved them ever since. They are a good, dependable all-purpose tomato. This variety is my favorite for fresh eating, sliced on sandwiches, made into salsa or just eaten out of hand. I also like to use this one for canning. Most are a good size to fit into a canning jar, and since they are determinate you will get a lot of them at once. I used to be able to buy Willamette tomato plants in the local nurseries but most quit carrying them. It was my search for Willamette tomato seeds that brought me to Victory Heirloom Seeds in the first place!
