TASTE THE SEASONS FROM OUR EDIBLE GARDEN
The 2025 Tomato Gift Box is here.
A seasonal taste from our garden.
Perfect for tomato lovers, this box celebrates the 100+ heritage varieties we grow - wild and wonderful in every shape, colour, and personality. Some are best enjoyed fresh with flaky Irish sea salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil; others shine when transformed into small-batch creations we’ve bottled and jarred to savour all year round.
Inside this gift box, you’ll find a selection of our tomato favourites:
Bloody Mary Salt - our savoury tomato-and-spice seasoning; delicious on popcorn, sprinkled over eggs, finishing wilted greens or roasted vegetables, or rimming a Bloody Mary glass
Golden or Wild Tomato Jam - a savoury-sweet, sticky jam that’s delicious with your morning eggs or in a grilled cheese toastie. We also love tossing it through Asian-style noodles for instant depth and brightness
Bottled Heritage Tomatoes - tastes like summer in a bottle. Stir through pasta, toss with grains, or roast with meaty white fish or organic chicken and plenty of green olives
Green Tomato Chutney - made from the late-2024 harvest and left to gently mature; perfect with cheeses, cold meats, or a Full Irish breakfast
Illustrated sticker - a little keepsake featuring the tomato artwork from this gift box
Each gift box is presented in a beautiful black box, lined with illustrated paper and wrapped in a cornpaper sleeve that tells the Fat Tomato story.
If you’re sending this as a gift, we can include a handwritten note on a Fat Tomato postcard – just leave your message at checkout.
Grown and made naturally, rooted in biodiversity, and always for flavour, not yield.
A bright rhubarb syrup with gentle spice and natural acidity.
At Fat Tomato, we grow several varieties of rhubarb — Victoria, Champagne, Bull and Gate, and Timperley Early — bringing colour and flavour to the garden from early spring through to summer. Some are forced for an early crop, while the rest follow naturally, each with its own balance of sweetness and acidity.
Rhubarb’s sharp, floral character lends itself beautifully to drinks and desserts. This syrup is designed to hold that natural zing, balancing sweetness with freshness rather than overwhelming it.
Organic green cardamom is layered in gently, enhancing the rhubarb with warm, herbal citrus notes and a subtle lift of spice.
Made slowly over several days with organic Colombian raw cane sugar, the result is a clear, vibrant syrup that captures the brightness of the season.
Drizzle over pancakes, ice cream, or yoghurt, or use to lift sparkling water, cocktails, and spritzes.
Available as an everyday bottle, or as a Gift Box, wrapped in our illustrated paper — inspired by the Wexford and Irish food story — and presented in our signature black box.

Crambe maritima
One of our favourite things to harvest in the garden each year and simply cook in plenty of salted butter. Lilywhite Seakale is a rare and beautiful perennial vegetable with deep roots in Ireland’s coastal food culture. Once common along shorelines and in kitchen gardens, sea kale was prized for its gently sweet, subtly nutty flavour and its quiet generosity, returning year after year.
Plants form crinkled blue-green leaves and airy clouds of delicate white flowers in summer. In early spring, tender shoots are traditionally produced by forcing the crowns under terracotta pots, yielding pale, blanched stems long considered a true delicacy and cooked much like asparagus.
Seakale needs a permanent spot in the garden, like rhubarb. It is slow to establish, but rewards patience with decades of harvests, resilience, and a strong sense of place.
Average number of seeds: 10
Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.
Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.
Sweet, gently spiced, and full of warmth.
Peaches are a rare fruit to grow well in Ireland, but in our polytunnel they thrive — protected from the worst of the weather and allowed to ripen slowly for full flavour. Our Peregrine and Johnny Brack varieties bring different qualities: Peregrine with its fragrant, white-fleshed fruit and soft blush, and Johnny Brack with a rounder, honeyed sweetness.
These fruits do not keep long, so we preserve them at their peak.
This chutney draws on the natural affinity between peaches, warm spice, and rich cheeses. Layered with organic cloves, yellow mustard seed, cumin, fennel, bay, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, star anise, and black pepper, it carries a gentle aromatic warmth inspired by North Indian cookery.
Sweetness comes from Highbank Orchards’ organic apple syrup and Deglet Nour dates, giving the chutney a natural honeyed depth and a soft, jammy texture, balanced with our heritage apple cider vinegar.
Like fine wine, chutneys only improve with time. This chutney is always made in early July with the last of the peaches and left to mature, allowing the vinegar and spices to mellow and the flavours to deepen into something complex and elegant.
Serve with cheeses, charcuterie, grilled meats, or meaty white fish. It also works beautifully alongside dhal and curries, or melted into a good cheese toastie.
Available as an everyday jar, or as a Gift Box, wrapped in our illustrated paper — inspired by the Wexford and Irish food story — and presented in our signature black box.

THE SHOP
Our edible garden honesty farm shop in North Wexford sits at the bottom of the driveway, open seven days a week and stocked with whatever the season allows.
Online, you’ll find a changing selection of Irish garden seeds, preserves, drinks, and thoughtful food and gardening gifts. Once something sells out, it may not return — or not for a long while. Everything is grown, made, or curated by us, in step with the rhythm of the garden.

THE GARDEN
Perched on Carrig Rua Hill in North Wexford, just behind his parents’ home, Anthony’s small edible garden is now home to over 500 varieties of organic heritage seeds and plants.
What began in 2016 with a polytunnel, a handful of seeds, a few feathered friends, and a compost heap has grown into an Irish food garden shaped by curiosity, biodiversity, and flavour — guided by a deep respect for season and place.
-
THE PANTRY
As the seasons unfold, ingredients from the garden are preserved into small-batch Irish condiments and drinks — cordials, ferments, chutneys, sauces, jams, jellies, syrups, dried herbs, spice blends, and salts.
Each batch captures a moment in time, shaped by harvest and weather. Nothing is rushed, nothing repeated for the sake of scale — just flavour, preserved with care and intention.
-
THE DESTINATION
Fat Tomato is imagined as a future place for sharing — a smallholding, garden, and workshop shaped by food, people, and ideas.
Rooted in heritage, it will be a space where old and new Irish flavours meet travel, craft, and design — somewhere to gather, grow, cook, eat, and recharge. A slow, considered vision, shaped carefully over time, in step with the land and the seasons.
