A dependable, generous cropper, Holly Rose is ideal for slicing, salads, and everyday kitchen use - a tomato grown as much for eating as for appreciating.

  • During tomato season, we eat tomatoes morning, noon, and night, as they bring us so much joy after months of nurturing. We eat them like sweets, in pasta dishes, or as part of a simple tomato salad with flaky sea salt.

    We also preserve tomatoes in various ways for the year ahead, making sauces, jams, and chutneys. Fresh tomatoes can be frozen whole for later use in pasta sauces, stews, soups, and casseroles.
