i really think to alot of people except us tomatovillans a tomato is just a tomato and in the more upscale areas there is more awareness of hierlooms.. i live in a rural area and people tend to seek the smaller perfect looking red tomatoes.. stupices were a big seller for me theyre are always nice surprises i had one customer an older gentleman in a wheel chair who used to love growing tomatoes and he bought almost one of each hierloom i sold and loved speaking tomatoes and there were some customers that bought hierlooms from me for the first time out of curiosity then would become regular repeat customers every saturday i also had similar situations with my hierloom summer squashes and pole beans.. thats the fun of the market this year im growing some romas as trap crops to lure them to my table but id never give up the hierlooms as thats what i love growing and im sure they will catch on what i dont sell i donate to the food pantry at our rural services
