Heirloom Tomatoes
Farmers Market Fresh
At Floralies Estates, our heirloom tomatoes are grown with the same care and attention we bring to our flowers. We cultivate a diverse collection of heritage varieties selected for exceptional flavour, colour, and texture rather than uniform appearance.
Harvested at peak ripeness and grown without synthetic pesticides, our tomatoes deliver the rich, complex flavours that have made heirloom varieties prized by chefs and home cooks alike. From deep crimson beefsteaks to vibrant striped and multicoloured varieties, each tomato reflects the unique character of the season.
Available throughout the growing season at select farmers markets and directly from our farm (by appointment).
Wholesale for Restaurants
Floralies Estates proudly supplies premium heirloom tomatoes to chefs who value exceptional ingredients and local sourcing.
Our restaurant program offers freshly harvested tomatoes selected for flavour, consistency, and presentation. Multiple heirloom varieties are available throughout the season, allowing chefs to showcase unique colours, textures, and tastes in their menus.
We work closely with culinary partners to provide reliable supply, seasonal variety planning, and farm-to-table freshness that elevates the guest experience.
Wholesale pricing is available.
