Basically, if you want true, local heirlooms...then you need to talk to old folks in the area, especially those who have gardened for a long time (and really talk to those that have a family history of gardening). Many times what you are after ARE NOT 'named' varieties (well they may have been 75 yrs ago, but if anyone remembers that, you are very, very lucky). More often than not, you'll be looking at something with a no name or at best 'Grandpa's favorite tomato'/family name attached to it.
