Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heirloom Tomatoes - Ugly, but very profitable! Heirloom tomatoes never look perfect like supermarket tomatoes. They have wrinkles or blemishes, and some varieties are just plain ugly. But beneath that ugly skin, you'll discover rich and wonderful flavors. Once a shopper has tasted a heirloom tomato, they're hooked. That's why heirloom tomatoes can bring big profits to market growers - as much as $100 a plant - and repeat sales from customers who love the old-fashioned taste and flavor. Growing heirloom tomatoes can produce over $16 per square foot of garden space. Since they do not ship well, they must be sold close to where they are grown, which fits right in with the "buy local" trend. Today's consumers are choosing to spend more on high-quality local produce that is healthy, flavorful and naturally grown. You can get your share of those dollars with heirloom tomatoes and earn more growing healthy food you can be proud to sell. In this book, you'll discover the best varieties to grow, how to double your harvest yields and how to get top dollar for your harvest, plus a resource chapter with seed suppliers, free university research and how-to growing videos.
