Wild Boar Farms tomato varieties
New tomato varieties selected by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms.
I find them better looking, better tasting and more desirable to my customers then the original heirlooms they came from. Selected from thousands of plants with an emphasis on flavor as much as looks.
Seeds available now, limited number of plants available approx. April 1st.
Berkeley Tie-Dye...Warning, high acid content may cause flashbacks. This tomato blows me and alot of my customers away. A favorite to many of my chefs.
Mid-late to late, 75-90 days. indet. regular leaf plants. 8-16 oz. Fair to good production. Green fruit with yellow and red stripes. Interior is a true tri-color. Creamy green flesh infused with various shades of red and yellow. Each of these colors has a different flavor resulting in a spicey, sweet, tart tomato with good acid all in one fruit.
Originated from one plant 500 ,F-2 Beauty King.
Large Barred Boar: Early to mid-early. Like most dark tomatoes, this is one of my first ripe tomatoes each season. 65-75 days. Indet. regular leaf, grows fairly stocky and not as tall as most indet. 8-12 oz. flattened med. beefsteak fruit. Very meaty. Good to very good production. Good choice for marginal tomato climates.
Pink brown with metallic green stripes. Very meaty pink flesh that is very flavorful.
Originated from F-2 Black and Brown Boar. The only large tomato in a row of 200. First large striped tomato I had ever seen at the time.
Pink Boar: Looks like a port wine colored Green Zebra. Striking looks, outrageous flavor that is sweet, rich and juicy.
Early to mid-season. 70-80 days. indet. regular leaf. 2-4 oz. with good to great production. Aggressive grower. Port wine color with metalic silver green stripes. Dark colored flesh is juicy and very good rich and sweet flavor.
Originally from Black and Brown Boar.
Red Boar: Red colored mutation I discovered from Green Zebra. Not related to other red striped tomatoes on the market, some of wich are not edible to me, this one has won taste contests.
Another top notch performer in the looks, taste, production department.
Mid season, 70-75 days. indet. regular leaf. 2-4 oz. good to very good producer. Amazing yellow red stripes, great producer, winner if you want a smaller, juicey sweet tomato.
Berkeley Tie-Dye Heart: About as far as I have gotten from a round, red, tasteless tomato. Strong assertive flavor of Berkeley Tie-Dye with super dense meaty flesh.
Mid season, 75-85 days. Indet. wispy droopy leaf. Good to outstanding production. Wispy droopy leaves look like they need water when they sometimes don't. Wilt leaf gene is common in heart tomatoes.
Several shapes of same plant, ranging from blocky-round to long slender hearts. Outstanding assertive tomato flavor. Very meaty with almost no juice.
Mutation from Berkeley Tie-Dye.
Porkchop: Most "yellow" tomatoes are acually orange. This is a true yellow, starts off yellow with green stripes which ripen to gold.
Mid season, 75-85 days. indet. regular leaf. medium size slightly flattened beefsteaks.
Great sweet tomato flavor with hints of citrus. Best yellow I have ever had.
Beauty King: By far the best looking and tasting red yellow bi-color I have tried.
Mid to late, 75-90 days. Indet. regular leaf. 12-20 oz. fruit. Good to very good production. Large stunning red yellow bi-color, yellow with flashy red stripes(not blotches). Interior is yellow with bright red streaks, very meaty. Very good sweet tomato flavor.
Cross between a Big Rainbow and Green Zebra.
Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye: Beautiful, early, and very sweet rich flavor. 10 out of 10 people liked it better then Cherokee Purple in a farmers market taste off.
Early to mid-early, 65-75 days.Compact indet. regular leaf. 8-12 oz. average. Port wine colored beefsteak with metallic green stripes. Excellent sweet, rich dark tomato flavor. Fabulous.
Marginal tomato climate recommended.
Brad's Black Heart: First black heart shaped tomato I know of.
It was a mutation I discoverd in a row of Black Krim tomatoes.
Mid-season, 80-85 days. Indet. wispy leaf.(typical with heart shapes)
Great producer of 8-12 oz. super meaty fleshed tomatoes that have excellent sweet rich flavor. Wispy foilage will intice you to over water.

Evan's Purple Pear: midseason 70-80 days. indet. potato leaf. Good to very good production, great disease tolerance typical of potato leaf.
2-3 oz. cluster, purple pear shaped fruit, with excellent sweet rich flavor. Ripe fruit has some hangtime.
Originally from a Prudence Purple.
Black and Brown Boar: One of my first varieties. Discovered in Green Zebra patch years about ten years ago. This looks like a Black Zebra, slightly larger with some lobes.
Mid-early to early. 65-75 days. Indet. regular leaf. Pumps out 3-4" fruit like crazy. Aggressive grower and producer.
Great flavor, dark earthy tones of rich tomato.
