I'd never heard of this company and when I went to their site I was not impressed at all and as for tomato seed there are many places that are far superior for tomato seed.
And I was not at all amused when I read about their Ramapo seed. I tried to cut and paste Ramapo here, that didn't work, so will just link to the site and let folks read:

First, while they note that it was first developed as an F1 hybrid at Rutgers, what they're offering appears to be an OP version since the title has no F1 next to it as do all the others hybrids.
Then there's the price of $3.75 for an unspecified number of seeds but with other varieties the number of seeds is given.
Next, Ramapo, neither the F1 hybrid, which is available, or the OP version, is not 12 to 16 oz, as they report.
I dehybridized F1 Ramapo when it went out of production and distributed the F2 and F3 seeds and some folks are on the F5 and F6 now and it's perfectly stable.
The tomato variety selection is small and as I said, there are much much better places to buy tomato seed, in my opinion.
