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.

“Heirloom tomatoes are more easily described by what they are not. Most heirlooms predate the 1950s and are OP, meaning they are not hybrids.
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.

Preventing cross-pollination and maintaining varietal purity is the primary work of companies such as Seed Savers Exchange” ….. as quoted by Kelly Roberson

When you carefully collect, plant, tend, and harvest seeds, you are creating a legacy.
