I recently ordered more seeds from Forgotten Heirlooms as I've been very pleased with the plants I've grown from this source. Several of the varieties (including what's become my favourite white tomato) are described as originating in Kentucky and are attributed to Kris Hubbard, a seed-saver in Kentucky (Wild Wood Farms) as the original source. I do not know Mr. Hubbard personally but have read a little about his work with seed-saving and his community involvement, like here: https://cfaky.org/2015/04/30/this-se...es-prosperity/
So I for one have benefited from Mr. Hubbard's seed-saving work and for that I'm indebted to him. I've just learned that Mr. Hubbard is now in need himself, and thought that at least some of us in this community of tomato enthusiasts/breeders/seed-savers might be in a position to offer some help:
