I also have had good results with heirlooms at the farmers markets. One tip -- be sure to put the name of the variety on what you are selling. I've found that people are more willing to try tomatoes that look less than prefect if they know the name and maybe a bit of the "story" of the tomato.

I only know some of your varieties, but those I know look like good choices. I would like to suggest you also try Marianna's Peace and Orange Strawberry. Both produces tons last year. If you want some seed I have lots of both.

Also if you want another good cherry, try Amish Salad. Good tasting pink and really productive for me.
