After several years of curiosity, even the hard-core hybrid growers in my area are beginning the turn around to "those tomatoes with the weird names and strange colors that taste sooo good". A couple of the charity plant sale organizations are asking if I have a few (or a lot) of tomatoes they could sell. Donations could turn into future sales.
A northern Kansas greenhouse and nursery for the third year is selling heirlooms I have grown. People are now asking for them by name. I do get a break-even return there. I will distribute about a hundred plants to friends and family beginning next week. All freebies.
I still can't see myself with a Craig or Huntoften operation, but you never know. What I grow is mostly for myself and the extras are sent to good homes.
