When I originally saw this thread, and the "beefsteak", I didn't have much to add. In my growing area, big beefsteaks are a bit unreliable. We get some every year, sometimes many, often only a few, and the greenies ripen inside.

Good enough to can, but not tops for flavor.

But I DO love two orange globes. Djena Lee, and Faribo Gold Heart.

Djena is well-known.

I don't get many heart-shaped tomatoes from Faribo, but the flavor is good, and it has one other quality I truly appreciate; it stays attractive and tasty longer than most; we had the last one at Thanksgiving last year... weeks after the frost killed everything off.

Faribo was developed at the U of MN in the 1950's and released through Farmer's Seed and Nursery in Faribault, MN. Farmer's seed, like other Midwestern Seed houses (Gurney's, Henry Field, Northrupp-King, etc) is no more.
