Heirloom Tomato Plant Member Thank You

All FNLPM memberscurrent and new—have the opportunity to receive a free heirloom tomato plant as a token of our appreciation for their support!

 
What is an heirloom tomato? In simple terms, it is a variety that is open-pollinated and shared through generations via saved seeds. They come in unique colors, shapes and sizes, and are very flavorful.
