Jersey Breeze Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Certified Organic
Grown on Our Farm
The perfect red tomato of a gardener's dreams.
Juicy and tender 10-12 ounce slicing tomato with excellent reliability and good disease resistance. During this past season's terrible tomato weather it was a top performer, and consistently churned out uniform, beautiful red fruits that were a favorite in our trial taste tests.
Classic Jersey tomatoes harken back to a time when New Jersey farmers grew tasty vine ripened tomatoes to compete with trucked-in gas ripened counterparts from the other coasts after the Jersey canning industry lost out to those markets too. Jersey tomatoes were known to be juicier, tastier and better than those picked green. Sound familiar? With seasonal and fresh being popular these days too, we can uphold Jersey Breeze among a long line of tomatoes bred to be grown outdoors, in less than ideal conditions, and still remain juicy, tart, sweet, and toothsome. Indeterminate.

First year of growing Jersey Breeze tomatoes. They were sweet and delicious. I will grow them again next year.
Growing strong!!
Jersey Breeze did well in my summer-inferno climate, in a bed where some old reliables barely produced. It was consistent and unblemished. A pretty good standard red tomato. But I’m curious about its history: is it an heirloom? Bred by someone? I haven’t been able to find further information about it.
Bought many more New Jersey Breeze seeds than needed but I planted about 20+ on my porch. Be aware…..about 3 or 4 (or maybe others) sprouted without an apical meristem and will not flower. I’m told this is a genetic thing that can occur. Comments?
Now I have to remove them and maybe put some younger plants into that space?
Ordered and quickly delivered. Can’t wait to get these guys going!
