Introducing Blue Beauty Tomato

  This was our first year growing Blue Beauty and she produced loads of gorgeous, delicious tomatoes for us. As a huge fan of Black Beauty tomato, I had my doubts that I would love Blue Beauty as much; but I do. All my expectations were exceeded with this variety.

Blue Beauty was bred by Bradley Gates/Wild Boar Farms. They describe Blue Beauty as: "4-8 oz. fruit, Selection from a cross with Beauty King and a blue tomato. Great production. Medium Large fruit, Meaty Pink beefsteak with a lovely dark blue Anthocyanin top. Good hang on the vine ability, sunburn and crack resistant. Very good flavor."

My experience growing Blue Beauty confirms the Wild Boar Farms description 100%+. We actually had several Blue Beauties that exceeded 8 ounces.  This tomato is simply stunning and as the saying goes, "we eat with our eyes" before we ever taste with our mouths. My eyes and my mouth/taste buds were over the moon about Blue Beauty. We will definitely grow this variety again next year. While I am saving seeds for next year, I will NOT be selling tomato seeds for probably at least a couple years. I want to focus on selecting the best seeds each year to develop a strain that best suits our East Mountains climate and conditions.

As always:
  • We DO NOT use any synthetic chemical fertilizers.
  • We DO NOT use any synthetic chemical pesticides.
  • We believe HEALTHY SOIL is the key to growing the healthiest & most nutritious produce.
