Solanum lycopersicum. Pink. 80 days. Indet. Potato Leaf. Big, pink, 12-16 oz beefsteak fruit are somewhat variable in shape – many with a rather ribbed appearance while some are a more flattened globe shape. We find it to be earlier to mature and heavier yielding than the ubiquitous Brandywine and recommend growing Tiffen Mennonite instead….
Solanum lycopersicum. Pink with Yellow Stripes. 80 days. Indet. Potato leaf. Pink skin with yellow tiger stripes. Voluptuous, slightly lobed, 5-12 oz flattened globe-shaped fruit. Good sweet crisp flavor and very productive. Holds quality well off the vine, better than other heirloom types. Thick enough skin for market farmers, yet tender enough for eaters. Very…
Solanum lycopersicum. Pink Grape. 60 days. Indet. Pink, grape-shaped fruit have a firm texture and a flavor that is a little more tart than sweet. Plants are quite vigorous and grow to about 5′ in our field conditions. We have found them to be very cool weather tolerant but not actually frost resistant. The most…
Solanum lycopersicum. Red Cherry. 60 days. Indet. Red cherry tomato with balanced sweet flavor, high yields, and very tall vines. Fruit are slightly larger than average cherry tomatoes. The delicious flavor and easy picking make it attractive and a quick pint filler. An excellent choice for red cherry production on market farms. Zuckertraube is German…
Brassica rapa. 30 days. Salad type turnip that is delicate yet crunchy with a distinct sweetness unlike other turnips. Very quick to mature, best grown in spring or fall. White, slightly flattened globe-shaped roots grow to 3″ but we prefer to harvest and eat them at 2.” Tokyo Market turnips are delicious raw in salads,…
Citrullus lanatus. 70-80 days. Light-green skinned watermelon with some speckles. Oblong fruit are large (10-30 lbs) for such an early melon. Good flavor with pink-red flesh. Bozeman ripens well in our cooler Oregon summers with similar maturity to other early watermelons like Blacktail Mountain and Early Moonbeam. Thick rind enables long storage, providing delicious, crisp…
Citrullus lanatus. 75-80 days. Chou Cheh Red has been lauded as the “Best. Watermelon. Ever.” and “sweetest” watermelon by some of our seed growing friends, and when fellow seed folk get behind a variety we listen! In addition to its addictive sweetness, we were pleasantly surprised to discover the relatively early yields even with so…
Citrullus lanatus. 75 days. Delicious, sweet, yellow-fleshed watermelon. 3-8 lb fruit have attractive, light-green skin with dark-green tiger stripes, which makes them easy to tell apart from the red watermelons. An early maturing variety that is cool weather tolerant, always ripens in our short growing season, and is always sweet – may be the sweetest…
Citrullus lanatus. 75 days. Round, ice box type fruit reach 10-15 lbs, and average 10″ in diameter. Dark green, nearly black rind. Fruit have a pinkish red, sweet flesh that is quite a treat. This Russian heirloom is early and vines are quite vigorous, producing a lot of fruit until frost. Comparable to Blacktail Mountain…
Citrullus lanatus. 90 days. The quintessential watermelon – classic flavor and so sweet! Green striped, oval fruit with pink flesh and white seeds grow to 25 lbs. Thin rind means you can eat almost all the way to the skin, however it also means that it does not store super long or travel very well….
Cucurbita moschata. 100 days. We decided to grow Black Futsu because it’s so pretty and it quickly became a favorite winter squash in the kitchen. Squat pumpkin-shaped, bumpy, deeply ribbed fruit start out dark green and mature to a deep tawny orange with a captivating grey blush. Fruit average 2½ lbs, making them a great…
Cucurbita maxima. 90 days. Japanese Kabocha type, blue-grey squash with a flattened globe shape. Sweet with the characteristic dry flesh of a Kabocha or Hokkaido. If stored for a few months, it will become a little more moist. Great rich flavor, but different than Sweet Meat, which is also C. maxima with a similar color…
Cucurbita moschata. 90 days. As market growers, we knew that winter squash storability and flavor improve with ripeness, so we were always on the lookout for an early butternut variety that matured well here in Oregon. Some hybrids come close, but most OPs require a longer growing season than we can provide. In 2005, we…
Cucurbita pepo. 90 days. We cannot get enough of this squash. We could eat it nearly every day all winter. A large Honey Boat type with extremely thick flesh and delicious rich flavor. Most delicata have a honey sweet or even maple flavor, but Candystick Dessert delicata has a richer date-like flavor that is truly…
Cucurbita moschata. 100 days. Unique, small round butternut different from other butternut types as it looks more like a tan, squat pie pumpkin. Very delicious sweet flavor becomes more developed in storage. Flesh is a deep orange color. Some fruit are very round while others have slight ribbing. When properly stored (at room temperature in…
Cucurbita pepo. 85 days. Small, orange, acorn-type fruit are an ideal size for single-serving winter squash. This variety shuns the stereotype of acorn squash being bland. Five times more flavorful than most acorn squash, but about half the size. We often get good feedback from commercial growers about Gill’s Golden Pippin’s productivity and flavor. We…
Cucurbita pepo. 90 days. Very sweet and reliable winter squash. Unlike its sister variety, Sugar Loaf, Honey Boat is long and less plump, similar to a regular delicata but with copper skin. Certainly among the sweetest winter squash we have ever grown, and sweetness holds well into storage. Larger seed cavity makes this squash ideal…
Cucurbita maxima. 80 days. Cute, small red kuri type fruit are a good size in the kitchen and for market. Plants produce numerous fruit that weigh 2-5 lbs each. Stores well and has dense, finely-textured flesh. This variety is even good raw, sliced in salads or diced as a snack. It is crunchy and sweet…
Lower Salmon River squash is on the short list of heritage Pacific Northwest winter squash varieties. Grown in and around Idaho’s Lower Salmon River, possibly for generations, it is uniquely adapted to our bioregion. Deep orange sweet flesh is flakier and drier than Sweet Meat.
Cucurbita maxima. 105 days. Incredibly dense, striking grey-blue winter squash ranging 10-20 lbs. Vigorous vines grow to 30 ft. A bit on the late maturing side, but worth the wait. Drier flesh is the perfect consistency for adding to baked goods, raviolis, gnocchi, or any recipe that calls for a thick, less watery puree –…
Cucurbita maxima. 85 days. A medium sized, 3-6 lb, red kuri type squash. Fruit is pear shaped, with red-orange skin and bright orange flesh. Flavor is excellent and rich. Not as sweet as Blue Kuri, however it is more appropriate for soups and savory dishes (curry!). The flesh is so orange it makes a near…
Cucurbita moschata. 100 days. With orange skin occasionally marbled with green, and exceptionally dark orange flesh, this is one unique and beautiful butternut. Sonca Orange Butternut is by far sweeter and smoother than any other butternut we have ever eaten. Our experience is corroborated by Jo’s son, Cole, who thinks it is utterly delicious, and…
Cucurbita pepo. 100 days. A slight variation on the classic delicata, Sugar Loaf is a sister variety to Honey Boat with a similar tan color and green stripes but with a shorter, blockier (some might even say loaf) shape. Deliciously sweet fruits average 1-2 lbs. Originally bred by Oregon State University plant breeder Dr. Jim…
Cucurbita maxima. 100 days. Beautiful blue squash on huge, vigorous vines. 3-4 fruit per plant weigh 10-20 lbs each and store well through May. Selected for vigor, large seeds for good cool soil emergence, a small seed cavity, and premium flavor by Carol Deppe in Corvallis, Oregon. She spent years and produced several tons of…
This dark green spoon- leafed Asian green is very similar to Tatsoi but with larger leaves and more savoyed texture. Yukina Savoy is one of the best mild mustards out there, as it works well as both a salad green when small, and sauté green when larger.
Cucurbita pepo. Light Green. 55 days. A lovely variety of zucchini from Italy. Fruit is light green with no ribbing and tends to bulb out a bit on the end. As with most Italian varieties, there is some variation in fruit appearance but the flavor is consistently delicious. We especially love the fact that the…
