I've looked at this website before.
The reason that you don't recognize many of the tomato varities is b' if you look at the blurbs many of them are from Gerhard Bohl in Germany. If you look at the thread titles in this Forum you'll see one about him.
I also have problems with the term "adaptive" varieties, aka varieties being adapted to the PNW.
I also feel a bit uneasy about the direct solicitation to send them seeds, but maybe that's b'c from time to time I get sent catalogs with notes attached saying "they" would welcome any seeds I might send them.
I dunno, the website just doesn't strike me the right way today, as it didn't the last time I looked. The index shows that there should be 65 tomato varieties but that's not even close to what's shown.
Maybe I'll feel differently tomorrow about the site?
