When you save seeds from a tomato you have grown, you are helping preserve the genetic diversity of tomatoes and have a tested history with a variety that your family enjoys the taste of.

Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa, defines an heirloom as any garden plant that has a history of being passed down within a family, just like pieces of heirloom jewelry or furniture. “They’ve been handed down from generation to generation,” says Kelly Tagtow, marketing manager at Seed Savers Exchange.
