Brad Gates harvesting tomatoes at his Wild Boar Farms. Brad is one of the few breeders today developing tomatoes for the home gardener and small market grower. All unpatented and packed with color and nutrition. Blue Berry Blend Brad Gates & Wild Boar Farms Brad GaTes is known in the California Bay area as “the tomato guy.” He has always loved the outdoors and plants. After working Saturdays for a summer selling at farmers markets for a friend, he became fascinated with the farmers market scene and began growing “those weird non-red tomatoes.” His first year, he grew 500 tomato plants, and the next year 1000. Now 14 years later, he owns a farm and wholesale business that supplies tomatoes to Bay Area restaurants and businesses. He also hosts a series of Farm to Table events in mid to late August as the tomatoes ripen on his farm each year. Brad is proprietor of Wild Boar Farms near Napa, California, where he offers some of the most outrageous tomatoes available on the planet. Using heirloom genetics and mutations as a foundation, creating new varieties kept him interested. He enjoyed creating tomatoes with new flavors, new colors, and new shapes with a goal to create the most amazing tomato varieties there are. His main focus is on bi-color and striped varieties with extreme flavor and fascinating looks. We are quite delighted to offer several of Brad Gates’ most excellent varieties. Brad’s Amazing Varieties! BLUE BERRY BLEND #TX101 New! This amazing blend of blue-hued tomatoes is sure to be a hit in your home or market garden. Brad Gates has been working to perfect blue tomatoes and has developed some of the most stunning examples! Blue tomatoes have been bred to produce high levels of anthocyanin, a pigment responsible for the blue and purple color of many fruits. The unique anthocyanin gene gives the tomatoes their deep plum-like flavor and accompanying antioxidant properties. Delicious and easy to grow, these new “super food” tomatoes are sure to please. Select seed, grown by Brad. Pkt (10 seeds) $3.00 BERKELEY TIE DYE #TS138 New! 75-85 days. Indeterminate. Large fruits have orangered and yellow-green stripes. Super dense meaty flesh with almost no juice has strong assertive flavor that is tangy, but also sweet. Plants have good to outstanding production. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00 BIG YELLOW ZEBRA #TY121 Neon yellow fruit have faintly deeper yellow markings, large size and good flavor; a unique color that was developed at Wild Boar Farms in California. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00 LARGE BARRED BOAR #TX102 New! 65-70 days. Indeterminate. This regular leaf tomato grows fairly stocky and not as tall as most indeterminate varieties. Flattened beefsteak fruit are pink-brown with metallic green stripes and weigh 8-12 ounces. Very meaty pink flesh is very flavorful. Select seed, grown by Brad. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00 SWEET CARNEROS PINK #TX103 New! This 2-4 ounce tomato is rose pink with gold colored stripes. It is not only great looking but also of excellent quality with its sweet tomato flavor. Another huge producing development from Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. Select seed, grown by Brad. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00 RED BOAR #TX104 New! 70-75 days. Indeterminate. A mid-season tomato that is a top notch performer in the looks, taste, and production departments. Tomato grower Brad Gates discovered this red colored mutation from his Green Zebra, and it is not related to other red striped tomatoes on the market. This 2-4 ounce gem has amazing yellow red stripes, is a great producer and is a definite winner if you want a smaller, juicy, sweet tomato. Select seed, grown by Brad. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00 PINK BERKELEY TIE DYE #TX105 New! 65-75 days. Indeterminate. Compact plants produce beautiful 8-12 ounce fruit with a very sweet, rich, dark tomato flavor. 10 out of 10 people liked the port wine colored beefsteak with metallic green stripes better than Cherokee Purple in a farmers market taste off. Select seed, grown by Brad. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00 PORK CHOP #TX106 New! 75-85 days. Indeterminate. While most “yellow” tomatoes are actually orange, this is a true yellow that starts off yellow with green stripes that ripen to gold. The medium sized, slightly flattened beefsteaks have sweet tomato flavor with hints of citrus. Wild Boar farmer Brad Gates says it is the “best yellow I have ever had.” Select seed, grown by Brad. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00 SOLAR FLARE #TX107 New! This 6-10 ounce beefsteak is red with gold stripes and has very meaty flesh with luscious sweet red tomato flavor.
