Indeterminate. This heirloom Brandywine tomato, with its potato-leaf foliage and deep pink skin, traces back to the late 1800s and was brought to America by Mennonite settlers from Germany. Known for its large size—often exceeding 1 pound—the fruit is sweet, low in acid, and contains few seeds. Its rich, smooth flavor makes it an excellent choice for slicing, sauces, and canning. A true classic, it remains a favorite for both history and taste.

I read that this Germany origin tomato is good for northern growers. I look forward to seed starting them at the end of February. Thanks MIG for offering so many tomato varietals at a great price.
I love your seeds.
Wonderful
Ain't planted it yet!
Tiffen Mennonite Tomato
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
Really great germination, I am currently growing them in my hydroponic system.
I gave one to my partner last summer... he said, "WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE CHAMPAGNE??"
This variety will be in my garden until I can no longer garden!
