Organic Honey Drop Tomato
Love Sungold? Meet Honey Drop!
Perennially our staff's favorite cherry, Honey Drop has all the rich fruit flavor we love in a gorgeous rainbow of orange, gold and salmon. Abundant and less prone to cracking compared to Sungold, Honey Drop is open-pollinated as well, without the bevy of bitter intellectual property restrictions surrounding Sungold.
Honey Drop is a very new variety, selected by Rachel and Tevis Robertson-Goldberg of Crabapple Farm in the beautiful Massachusetts Berkshires over many seasons, with their children as taste-testers! A portion of every packet sold returns to their farm to support their inspiring work, continuing to select delectable, resilient varieties for short seasons.
